Semi-solid state fermentation of food waste for production of Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide

In this study, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) biopesticide was produced through different fermentation processes using food waste with different water contents. The semi-solid state sample with 75% water content presented the highest δ-endotoxin efficiency of 862 μg/mL. δ-endotoxin efficiency increased by 30.2% from that of the solid-state sample (50% water content) and 73.8% from that of the submerged sample (99% water content). Results confirmed that semi-solid state fermentation presents considerable advantages compared with other fermentation types (solid-state and submerged). The timing adjustment of pH and recycling fermentation effectively counteracted the inhibition of pH and product, thereby increasing δ- endotoxin efficiency to 1,648 and 2,478 μg/mL (accumulated value of all four fermentation loops), respectively. A δ- endotoxin slow-release formulation using polylactic acid as the carrier was also developed to effectively promote the stability of Bt biopesticide.
