Popis: The present study discusses optimization of cellulase production from isolated cellulolytic bacterium. A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed for optimization of these processes to achieve the desired production goal. The approach was compared to the use of evolutionary algorithms, i.e., genetic algorithms (GAs) and response surface methodology (RSM). Ochrobactrum haematophilum was identified as the isolated bacteria. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) concentration, yeast extract, pH, and incubation temperature were the significant factors screened by Plackett–Burman design and further optimized using a central composite design. The optimum values obtained were CMC concentration = 4.76% (w/v), yeast extract = 2.03% (w/v), pH = 6.3, and temperature = 44.2°C. Carboxy methyl cellulase (CMCase) activity at these values was experimentally determined to be 3.55 ± 0.16 U/ml, which was 2.8 times than the unoptimized system (1.23 U/ml). The growth-associated and non-growth-associated Leudeking–Piret constant...
