The present study underlines a unique promising approach toward efficient biotransformation of ceftriaxone sodium (Ceftx), a highly frequent prescribed cephalosporin antibiotic, by a newly bacterium namely Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain Cef6 isolated from Ceftx contaminated raw materials in pharmaceutical industries. A three step sequential statistical-mathematical approach (Plackett-Burman design [PBD], Central Composite Design [CCD], and ridge-canonical analyses) was anticipated to optimize the biotransformation process. Ceftx concentration and medium volume: bottle volume ratio, two key determinants, significantly (p<0.05) affected the process outcome deduced by regression analysis of PBD' data. CCD and ridge-canonical analyses localized the optimal levels of Ceftx concentration and medium volume: 250ml bottle volume ratio to be 0.39 and 7.973g Ceftx/L modified tryptic soy broth achieving Ceftx biotransformation (100%) after 39h under aerobic static conditions at 30 degrees C, irrespectively deduced via HPLC analysis. Impressively, only one of five Ceftx byproducts was detected by the end of the biotransformation process. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first report addressing a detailed study regarding efficient biotransformation of Ceftx by single bacterium not bacterial consortium under aerobic conditions. Present data would greatly encourage applying this approach for decontamination of some Ceftx contaminated environmental sites.
