“…The strain Bacillus subtilis SNW3 was grown on conventional yeast extract media (2% w/v) and mineral salt medium (MSM) as described by (Abouseoud et al 2008 ; Rastogi et al 2021 ) of given composition (g/L: KH 2 PO 4 , 2.0; K 2 HPO 4 , 4.0; FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 0.025; MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 1.0; KCl, 0.2; NaCl, 5.0; CaCl 2 ·2H 2 O, 0.02; and trace elements solution with composition of MnSO 4 ·4H 2 O, 1.78; ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 2.32; CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O, 1.0; H 3 BO 3 , 0.56; KI, 0.66 and NH 4 MoO 4 ·2H 2 O, 0.39). Different environmental process parameters significant for biosurfactant production were evaluated using above mentioned media at various range of temperature (15, 30, 37 and 50°C), pH (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), agitation speed (0, 150 and 250 rpm) and inoculum size (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5).…”
