: Kojic acid is an organic acid that is commonly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This acid compound is a secondary metabolite produced by various microorganisms, one of which is Aspergillus oryzae. Typically, improving the strain can enhance kojic acid production. A mutation is one of the tools to perform strain improvement because the change in kojic acid-producing genes effectively increases kojic acid yield. Random mutagenesis is a classic approach for inducing and producing mutants with random mutations. The mutagenesis can be generated by the individual physical and chemical mutagen, combined physical and chemical mutagens, or initiate by protoplast preparation. Aspergillus strains that are exposed to physical mutagens (e.g., UV) or chemical mutagens (e.g., N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG)) showed their abilities in increasing kojic acid production. Several new mutation methods, such as Ion Beam Implantation and Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP), also showed good responses in enhancing the production of biological products such as kojic acid. This review compared different random mutagenesis methods of Aspergillus strain with various mutagen types to provide better insight for researchers in choosing the most suitable method to increase kojic acid production.

Objective: The objective of this study is to obtain the optimal fermentation conditions for Aspergillus oryzae by gradually optimizing the medium andfermentation conditions.Methods: Fermentation condition were optimized by varying carbon and nitrogen sources, pH medium, temperature, and aeration condition. Levelsof kojic acid were determined using thin-layer chromatography-densitometry with an ultraviolet detector at a wavelength of 318 nm.Results: A combination of sucrose and yeast extract was chosen as the best source of carbon and nitrogen, respectively, from nine medium variations,producing 1.5425 g/L kojic acid. The optimum acidity of the medium was at pH 4.5, producing 1.7127 g/L of kojic acid, compared with pH 3.5 and5.5. Compared with fermentation at room temperature, fermentation at 35°C yielded greater kojic acid production. The best aeration condition was100 mL medium in 250 mL flask that produced the most kojic acid (1.6472 g/L).Conclusion: The optimal medium for fermentation of kojic acid using A. oryzae uses sucrose and yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen sources,respectively, at pH 4.5. The optimal aeration and incubation conditions were used, a volume of 100 mL in a 250 mL conical flask, incubated at 35°C,obtaining the highest yield value of 0.0370 g/g.
