Abstract: Piriformospora indica , a member of basidiomycota is an axenically cultivable endophytic fungus which exerts plant growth promoting effects on its host plant. P. indica is known to produce α-amylase and protease. Since the organism exhibits beneficial role in plant growth promotion, achieving high biomass is immensely essential. Hence to enable the commercial production, screening of medium components is a necessary step. The present paper investigates the screening of medium components using Plackett–Burman experimental design wherein the parameters such as α-amylase, protease and biomass have been examined. The parameters α-amylase, protease and biomass was found to vary from 0.25 to 0.45 mg −1 ml −1 min −1 , 0.1 to 0.15 mg −1 ml −1 h −1 and 0.8 to 22.6 g l −1 , respectively, in 16 runs which demonstrates the strong influence of the medium components.
