Objective:This study aimed to explore the optimal medium composition and culture conditions for obtaining the maximum viable count of Brevibacillus laterosporus.Methods:Based on establishing the correlation regression equation between the MTT colorimetric method and plate counting method.the optimal medium composition(carbon source,nitrogen source.inorganic salt)and fermentation conditions(initial pH,temperature,inoculation amount,KH2 PO4)for obtaining the maximum viable count of B.laterosporus were optimized.Results:A significant linear correlation for viable count determination between MTT colorimetry and plate counting(R2＞0.999)was found;Maltose,CaCl2,initial pH and KH2 PO4 were the significant factors.The optimal fermentation condition was 8.75 g/L maltose,0.17 g/L CaCl2,7.07 initial pH and 3.73 g/L KH2PO4.Under the control of these conditions,the number of viable counts was 8.12X 108 CFU/mL.However,no significant difference from the theoretical number(8.25 X 108 CFU/mL)was found.Conclusion:Based on MTT colorimetry and response surface methodology,the culture conditions for the maximum viable count of B.laterosporus were optimized and the number of viable counts was higher than before optimization increased by 3.02 times.
