Chemometric approach to prediction of antibacterial agent production by Streptomyces hygroscopicus

Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2014 Sep;174(2):534-41. doi: 10.1007/s12010-014-1115-8. Epub 2014 Aug 1.

Abstract

The nutritional requirements for antimicrobial agent production using Streptomyces hygroscopicus were analyzed in shake flask experiments. Antimicrobial activity was tested against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. The mathematical models have been generated with relative high complexity in order to give an adequate fit to the data. All the results suggest a high dependence of produced antimicrobial agent quantities on the amount of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in cultivation medium. The statistical results of the generated models reflect the high predictive ability. The derived models were validated using leave-one-out cross-validation technique, and from statistical point of view, they have significantly high values of the cross-validation parameters.
