Avaliou-se a produção de celulases e xilanase de Aspergillus niger IZ9, crescido sobre bagaço de cana, quimicamente tratado, como substrato. Os tratamentos foram: solução de hidróxido de sódio a 4%, e solução de hidróxido de sódio a 4%, ácido fosfórico p.a. e vapor. A produção das enzimas celulolíticas (celulase total, endoglicanase e ­glicosidase) e xilanase foi observada nos bagaços tratados e nãotratado. O tratamento com solução de hidróxido de sódio a 4% promoveu maior indução de síntese da maioria das enzimas, com exceção de ­glicosidase, a qual apresentou produção semelhante para os bagaços tratados quimicamente. Abstract It was evaluated the production of cellulases and xylanase by Aspergillus niger IZ09 grown in a substrate consisted of chemically treated sugarcane bagasse. The treatments were: 4% sodium hydroxide solution and 4% sodium hydroxide solution, phosphoric acid and steam. The production of the cellulolytic enzymes (total cellulase, endoglycanase and B.CEPPA, Curitiba, v. 18, n. 1, jan./jun.2000 67 ­glucosidase) and xylanase was observed in the treated and nontreated bagasses. The treatment with 4% sodium hydroxide solution promoted a greater induction of the synthesis of the majority of the enzymes, with exception of ­glucosidase, which showed similar production for both chemically treated bagasses.

This present study was concerned with the biosynthesis of citric acid (CA) with mutant strain of Aspergillus niger using pawpaw and orange peel as substrates by solid state fermentation process. The A. niger strain isolated from spoilt orange was identified, screened for CA production on Czapek-Dox Agar and subjected to mutation by ethidium bromide. The effect of carbon sources, nitrogen sources and substrates were also determined.  Among the mutant strains, A. niger PJ-02 A120 was found to be the best mutant that produced citric acid (65.00±0.58f) after 48 hours in Vogel’s medium. The effects of carbon sources (sucrose and glucose) on CA production from each substrate (orange and pawpaw peel) using mutant A. niger PJ-02 was determined and sucrose, the best carbon source was combined with two the nitrogen sources (groundnut cake and soyabeans) to determine the most suitable supplement for CA production. Groundnut cake enhances the production of citric acid while soyabeans was inhibitory. Citric acid was further produced in pawpaw peel and orange peel medium containing sucrose (5 %) groundnut cake (2 %), methanol (1.5 %) and the mutant strain. The orange peel substrates yielded 112.07g/kg of CA while 107.17g/kg was recorded for pawpaw peel when fermented for 5 days at 30°C. The Production of citric acid with mutant Aspergillus niger proved better with orange peel than pawpaw peel when optimized with alcohol.

Background: Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) are auxiliary accessory enzymes that act synergistically with cellulases and which are increasingly being used in secondgeneration bioethanol production from biomasses. Several LPMOs have been identified in various filamentous fungi, including Aspergillus fumigatus. However, many LPMOs have not been characterized yet. Objective: To report the role of uncharacterized A. fumigatus AfAA9_B LPMO. Methods: qRT-PCR analysis was employed to analyze the LPMO gene expression profile in different carbon sources. The gene encoding an AfAA9_B (Afu4g07850) was cloned into the vector pET- 28a(+), expressed in the E. coli strain RosettaTM (DE3) pLysS, and purified by a Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic (Ni-NTA) agarose resin. To evaluate the specific LPMO activity, the purified protein peroxidase activity was assessed. The auxiliary LPMO activity was investigated by the synergistic activity in Celluclast 1.5L enzymatic cocktail. Results: LPMO was highly induced in complex biomass like sugarcane bagasse (SEB), Avicel® PH-101, and CM-cellulose. The LPMO gene encoded a protein comprising 250 amino acids, without a CBM domain. After protein purification, the AfAA9_B molecular mass estimated by SDSPAGE was 35 kDa. The purified protein specific peroxidase activity was 8.33 ± 1.9 U g-1. Upon addition to Celluclast 1.5L, Avicel® PH-101 and SEB hydrolysis increased by 18% and 22%, respectively. Conclusion: A. fumigatus LPMO is a promising candidate to enhance the currently available enzymatic cocktail and can therefore be used in second-generation ethanol production.

A sugar-transporter-encoding gene, mstA, which is a member of the major facilitator superfamily, has been cloned from a genomic DNA library of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. To enable the functional characterization of MSTA, a full-length cDNA was expressed in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain deficient in hexose uptake. Uptake experiments using 14C-labelled monosaccharides demonstrated that although able to transport d-fructose (Km, 4.5±1.0 mM), d-xylose (Km, 0.3±0.1 mM) and d-mannose (Km, 60±20 µM), MSTA has a preference for d-glucose (Km, 25±10 µM). pH changes associated with sugar transport indicate that MSTA catalyses monosaccharide/H+ symport. Expression of mstA in response to carbon starvation and upon transfer to poor carbon sources is consistent with a role for MSTA as a high-affinity transporter for d-glucose, d-mannose and d-xylose. Northern analysis has shown that mstA is subject to CreA-mediated carbon catabolite repression and pH regulation mediated by PacC. A. niger strains in which the mstA gene had been disrupted are phenotypically identical with isogenic reference strains when grown on 0.1–60 mM d-glucose, d-mannose, d-fructose or d-xylose. This indicates that A. niger possesses other transporters capable of compensating for the absence of MSTA.
