Response surface statistical optimization of fermentation parameters for resveratrol production by the endophytic fungus Arcopilus aureus and its tyrosinase inhibitory activity.

The present study has provided sufficient lead that process optimization techniques can complement each other for optimized production of bioactive compounds by microorganisms apart from strain improvement techniques which are generally adopted in the industry. The enhancement of resveratrol production by Arcopilus aureus by process optimization further opens up avenues for strain improvement for commercial resveratrol production through fermentation for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications.
