Isolation and optimization of Bacillus thuringiensis BRB-3 isolated from germinated black upland rice seeds for GABA production by Rungnapha Wannasutta, Sophon Boonlue, Nuntavun Riddech, Wiyada Mongkolthanaruk

“…Interestingly, the concentration of MSG did not impact GABA production of B. thuringiensis BRB-3. Under optimal conditions of 3 % soy protein as the nitrogen source, 2 % sucrose, no added MSG at 30 °C, pH 6.5 for 12 days, B. thuringiensis BRB-3 achieved a high GABA yield of 25.06 g/L (242.9 mM). …”
