Abstract
The culture conditions for glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) production under submerged fermentation by Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus were investigated. The results indicated the optimum culture medium was composed as follows: 15.0 g L^−1^ of peptone, 12.5 g L^−1^ of beef extract, 12.5 g L^−1^ of sucrose, 1.03 g L^−1^ of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 5 g L^−1^ of sodium acetate, 2 g L^−1^ of ammonium dibasic citrate, 2.12 g L^−1^ of calcium chloride, 1 g L^−1^ of Tween 80, and initial pH 6.79. The optimum culture temperature and time were 37 °C and 12 h, respectively. Under these conditions, GAD production was 257.46 ± 5.12 U, which was about 1.45‐fold that of Man–Rogosa–Sharpe broth.
