In this study, an excellent exopolysaccharide producing in house isolate i.e. Lactobacillus casei KL14 with accession number KX774469was used to optimize various independent factors i.e. incubation temperature, pH, carbon source, surfactant source and nitrogen concentration for enhanced exopolysaccharide production by One Factor at a Time (OFAT) approach. The best parameters optimized from OFAT for pH, temperature, incubation time, carbon source, nitrogen concentration, surfactant and carbon concentration were 6.50, 35ËšC, 28 h, sucrose, 0.3%, triton-X100 and 2%. Under optimized conditions, an overall increase of 42.10% EPS production was observed with KL14, respectively. Thus, L. casei KL14 can be used in the speedup production of exopolysaccharides in large scale.
