Caffeine is an important naturally occurring compound which can be degraded by bacteria. Previously, Leifsonia sp. strain SIU capable of degrading caffeine was isolated from agricultural soil. Plackett-Burman design was used to screen significant parameters that affect the rate of caffeine degradati...
