One-factor-at-a-time optimization studies revealed that 80 g/L of defatted soybean flour , fermentation time of 16 h, temperature at 37°C, initial pH value of 7, inoculum volume of 5% (6x10<sup>7 </sup>CFU/mL), and medium volume of 50 mL in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask with shaking conditions at 100 rpm were the most suitable conditions for aglycones production. The addition of cellobiose (1 percent w/v) to the soy flour medium resulted in a significantly increase in total aglycone. Further optimization using the Box-Behnken design resulted in a 1.11-fold increase in daidzein and genistein. Antiviral activity was observed against the (H5N1) influenza, herpes simplex type 1, and rota virus. The MTT cytotoxicity assay of the extract using MDCK, Vero, and MA104 cell lines revealed that fermented soybean flour reduced cytotoxicity more than the unfermented one. However, it showed higher cytotoxicity against HCT-116 colon cancer cells, MCF-7 breast and PC3 prostate cancer cells than the unfermented soy extract.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences}, author={I.
