The average value of the comprehensive scores is 0.89 (RSD is 0.79%), which is closer to the predicted comprehensive score value of 0.91, and no obvious difference exists. Therefore, the model has accurate predictability and reliability, and can also prove the feasibility of optimizing the beauveria bassiana liquid fermentation process by using the response surface. The comprehensive score is slightly different from the regression equation predicted value under the optimal condition. The analysis reasons may be that the temperature, oxygen content, etc. of the culture medium during fermentation are changed with the growth of hyphae and the increase of spore production, thereby influencing the experimental result and generating a difference from the predicted value.

The addition of different carbon sources has a significant influence on the spore production number (F=8.626, P < 0.001), the spore production number of the strain is increased and then reduced along with the increase of the concentration of the supplementary carbon sources, when 0.4% of glucose is added, the spore production number reaches 2.98X10 9/g, no significant difference exists between the spore production number and 0.4% of sucrose, but the spore production number is significantly higher than that of other treatment groups, and the price of sucrose is higher than that of glucose in terms of market price, so that the carbon sources are preferably glucose.
The addition of different nitrogen sources has the same significant influence on the spore production number (F=26.236, P is less than 0.001), the spore production number of the strain is increased and then reduced along with the increase of the concentration of the supplementary nitrogen sources, and when 0.4% KNO 3 is added, the spore production number is 2.99X10 9/g and is obviously higher than that of a blank group and other treatment groups, so that the nitrogen source is preferably KNO 3.

6.2 Single factor screening of solid fermentation conditions
6.2.1 Sample Loading Screen
The effect of tray rice loading on solid fermentation spore production is shown in Table 17. The spore yield is obviously different under different sample loading treatments (F=134.529, P is less than 0.001), and the spore yield is increased and then decreased with the increase of the sample loading. The rice sample loading amount is mainly that the growth of the strain is influenced by influencing the oxygen demand of the strain in the fermentation process, the beauveria bassiana is aerobic bacteria, and certain oxygen is needed in the solid fermentation spore production process. In the growth process of microorganisms, bacterial films are formed on the solid surface to enable matrixes to be agglomerated, and with the growth of the microorganisms, excessive sample loading amount can cause poor ventilation performance of the matrixes, poor culture effect and influence on the growth and spore production; too little sample loading strain distributes water in the growth process, which is unfavorable for the water retention of the matrix. When the loading amount is 75g, namely the spore yield of the treatment group ZYL-2 reaches 3.76X10 9 pieces/g, the treatment group is obviously higher than the other treatment groups. Thus, the sample loading amounts were selected to be 50g, 75g, 100g as the examination level for the subsequent experiments.

6.2.2 Feed to Water ratio screening
The effect of the amount of water added to the solid fermentation substrate on the solid spore production of beauveria bassiana strain is shown in Table 18. The spore yield is obviously different (F=85.059, P < 0.001) under different feed water ratios, and the spore yield is increased and then decreased with the increase of the water addition amount. When the feed water ratio is 3:1, namely the spore yield of the treatment group LSB-3 reaches 2.90 multiplied by 10 9/g, which is obviously higher than that of the other treatment groups, when the feed water ratio is 1:1, the matrix can be bonded into blocks due to more water adding amount, and the matrix needs to be stirred uniformly with great effort, and meanwhile, in the drying process, the drying speed is slower and the efficiency is low due to higher feed water ratio. Thus, the feed water ratios were chosen as 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 as the levels of investigation for the subsequent experiments.

6.2.3 Inoculum size selection
The effect of inoculum size on spore yield of solid fermentation is shown in Table 19. There was a significant difference in spore yield (f=21.246, p < 0.001) with different inoculum size treatments, with increasing inoculum size and decreasing spore yield. Too high or too low inoculation amount is not beneficial to the spore production of the strain, too high inoculation liquid is easy to cause overgrowth of hypha, too high humidity of the culture bag and occurrence of water drops in the bag in the later period are visible, and the spore production is not beneficial; the inoculation amount is too low, and the rice matrix is not fully utilized. When the inoculum size was 25%, i.e. the sporulation number of the treatment group JZL-3 reached 3.08X10 9/g, there was no significant difference from the inoculum size of JZL-2, i.e. 20%, but significantly higher than the other treatment groups. Thus, 20%, 25%, 30% of the inoculum size was chosen as the level of investigation for the subsequent experiments.

Model regression equation mismatch test p=0.9997 > 0.05, no significant difference, shows that the equation fits well with the actual situation, the residual error of the model may be random error generation, and the model can be used for analyzing and predicting so as to obtain the optimal solid fermentation process. The multiple regression fit equation obtained from the anova is: comprehensive score Y=2.68+0.1579A-0.4966B+0.0472C+0.0572AB-0.1399AC+0.1537BC-0.3764A2-0.2684B2-0.3116C2.
TABLE 20 design of solid fermentation Box-Behnken experiment table
TABLE 21 solid fermentation Box-Behnken experimental results
TABLE 22 analysis of variance of response surface of solid fermentation
According to the analysis of variance results in table 22, the primary and secondary orders of the process parameters affecting the comprehensive score value are B > A > C, namely the feed-water ratio > sample loading amount > inoculation amount, the influence of two factors of the primary term B (feed-water ratio) and the primary term A (sample loading amount) on the spore yield in the regression model reaches a significant level (< 0.05), the secondary terms are significant, the influence of the interaction terms AC, AC and BC on the comprehensive score value is not significant, and the fact that different factor parameters and the solid fermentation spore yield are not in a simple linear relation is explained.
8. Determination of optimal solid fermentation process
Solving a fitting equation by adopting Design Expert 13.0 software to obtain the optimal technological parameters when the solid fermentation sporulation number prediction of beauveria bassiana is maximum: the sample loading amount is 85g, the feed-water ratio is 2:1, the inoculation amount is 25%, and the predicted solid fermentation spore yield is 2.89 multiplied by 10 9/g.
9. Verification of optimal solid fermentation process
And carrying out verification experiments according to the optimal solid fermentation conditions obtained by the design of the response surface curve, and repeating the experiments three times, wherein the experimental results are shown in table 23. The average value of the spore production number is 3.30X10 9/g (RSD is 0.39%), which is relatively close to the predicted spore production number of 2.89X 10 9/g. Therefore, the model has accurate predictability and reliability, and can also prove the feasibility of optimizing the beauveria bassiana solid fermentation process by using the response surface. Under the optimal condition, the spore yield is slightly higher than the predicted value of the regression equation, and the heat generated by spore yield in the solid fermentation process possibly causes the temperature of the solid culture material to slightly rise, so that the spore yield is increased and the difference is generated between the spore yield and the predicted value.
Table 23 verifies the results of the experiment

1. Test in strain production Process
1.1 Determination of the transfer of the liquid fermentation to the second liquid fermentation
The fermentation broth obtained by primary shake flask culture in the liquid fermentation step needs to be subjected to secondary conversion to expand liquid fermentation culture, and the transfer amount can directly influence the fermentation time and yield of secondary fermentation. The results of the experiments using the concentration of blastospores and the dry weight of mycelia obtained by the secondary liquid fermentation as the detection index are shown in FIG. 6 and Table 24. The spore concentration and mycelium dry weight of the bud spores under different transfer amounts reach the maximum value at 60h, respectively reduced slightly to 72h, and when the transfer amount is 5%, the spore concentration and mycelium dry weight of the bud spores are obviously higher than those of the rest treatment groups, so that the secondary expansion fermentation culture is carried out by transferring 5% of primary shake flask fermentation liquor for 60 hours.
