Seven isolates from spoiled fruits and vegetables were screened for pectinase production using pectin agar plates and the most efficient bacterial strain, MPTD1, was identified as <i>Bacillus sonorensis.</i> Optimisation of various process parameters was done using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs and it was found that parameters like yeast extract, K<sub>2</sub>HPO<sub>4</sub>, incubation time, NaNO<sub>3</sub> and KCl have a negative impact on pectinase production. Parameters like pH an ...[more]
