Enzymes are biocatalysts which play key roles in the body of living organisms. Cellulose is major source of plant biomass. Its β-1,4-glucosidic bonds  are hydrolyzed by cellulases. These cellulases can be produced by a variety of microorganisms including fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes which are used today for the industrial applications. The current study was aimed to optimize the cultural conditions for maximum production of endoglucanase by Aspergillus fumigatus through solid state fermentation of sugarcane bagasse. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed under Central Composite Design (CCD) for the optimization of growth including pH, temperature, time period & inoculum size and nutritional parameters including glucose, fructose and (NH₄)₂SO₄. The effect of different metal ions on endoglucanase production was also monitored. It was partially purified by (NH₄)₂SO₄ precipitation and gel filtration chromatography. Finally, edogucanase was characterized for optimum pH, temperature and determination of kinetic parameters. Maximum enzyme activity was found as 0.9 IU/mL/min in the presence of 6 g substrate, 3.5 mL inoculum, 4.5 pH, 40 °C temperature at incubation time of 84 hrs. After addition of carbon and nitrogen sources enzyme activity increased to 1.4 IU/mL/min. It was further increased to 1.56 IU/mL/min with 0.42% of CaCl2. Maximum purification was achieved at 50% saturation by ammonium sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄. Optimum temperature and pH were 40 °C and 5 respectively, whereas the values for Km and Vmax were 5.37 mM and 696 uM/mL/min., respectively. These findings suggested that endoglucanase by Aspergillus fumigatus could be suitable for various industries. Copyright (c) The Authors

Fibrinolytic enzymes have wide applications in clinical and waste treatment. Bacterial isolates were screened for fibrinolytic enzyme producing ability by skimmed milk agar plate using bromocresol green dye, fibrin plate method, zymography analysis, and goat blood clot lysis. After these sequential screenings,Bacillussp. IND12 was selected for fibrinolytic enzyme production.Bacillussp. IND12 effectively used cow dung for its growth and enzyme production (687±6.5 U/g substrate). Further, the optimum bioprocess parameters were found out for maximum fibrinolytic enzyme production using cow dung as a low cost substrate under solid-state fermentation. Two-level full-factorial experiments revealed that moisture, pH, sucrose, peptone, and MgSO4were the vital parameters with statistical significance (p<0.001). Three factors (moisture, sucrose, and MgSO4) were further studied through experiments of central composite rotational design and response surface methodology. Enzyme production of optimized medium showed4143±12.31 U/g material, which was more than fourfold the initial enzyme production (978±36.4 U/g). The analysis of variance showed that the developed response surface model was highly significant (p<0.001). The fibrinolytic enzyme digested goat blood clot (100%), chicken skin (83±3.6%), egg white (100%), and bovine serum albumin (29±4.9%).
