As a completely biodegradable plastic, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate ( PHB) is expected to replace traditional plastics used in food packaging, agriculture, medicine, etc., but high cost of production restricts the wider applications of PHB. Based on previous results on media formulations, optimum fermentation parameters were determined by response surface method-ology, and yield of PHB was promoted. First of all, level range of rotation speed, initial pH, inoculation amount and tempera-ture were confirmed; and then, fitted regression equation was gotten based on results of single factor experiments by using Design Expert8.0 to design Box-Behnken response surface experimental; finally, optimum fermentation parameters were determined by software analysis. Results showed that rotation speed 170.91r/min, initial pH 7.64, inoculation amount 6.21%, and temperature 32.15℃, PHB production reached 4.42g/L. Effect was significant that production of PHB was 1.38 times as before.
