The recent study has demonstrated the effects of different nitrogen sources on vanillin production by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Primary screening supported maximum biotransformation of ferulic acid (from lemongrass leaves hydrolysate) to vanillin by using ammonium chloride and yeast extract as inorganic and organic nitrogen source, respectively. With the 2-level factorial analysis, the optimum conditions of vanillin production from ferulic acid by P. chrysosporium was achieved at 0.192g/L with a molar yield of 24.5%.

Abstract The effects of the carbon and nitrogen substrates on the growth of Bacillus sp. SG113 strain were studied. The use of organic nitrogen sources (peptone, beef extract, yeast extract, casein) leads to rapid cellular growth and the best results for the Bacillus strain were obtained with casein hydrolysate. From the inorganic nitrogen sources studied, the (NH4) 2SO4 proved to be the best nitrogen source. Casein hydrolysate and (NH4) 2SO4 stimulated the invertase synthesis. In the presence of Jerusalem artichoke, onion and garlic extracts as carbon sources the strain synthesized from 6 to 10 times more inulinase.

Continuous Culture System

A continuous culture system has been designed for the cultivation of certain species of marine fungi. Growth in this apparatus was compared with growth in batch culture. Growth of the three marine species tested (Zalerion maritimum, Humicola alopallonella, and Monodictys pelagica) was significantly higher in continuous culture than in batch culture.Growth of two isolates of Z. maritimum was compared on three inorganic nitrogen sources and one organic nitrogen source. Growth of the fungus in the continuous system differed both qualitatively and quantitatively from that in batch culture. Both isolates showed greater growth on the organic nitrogen source in the closed system. In the continuous system, growth was equivalent on all nitrogen sources.

Nata de coco is made from raw coconut water which is fermented using the Acetobacter xylinum bacteria. This product has the characteristics of a white color, a thickness of approximately 1-2 cm and a chewy texture like a gel. The largest content in nata de coco is fiber known as bacterial cellulose. In addition to requiring sugar as a carbon source, making nata de coco also requires a source of nitrogen to activate the extracellular enzymes of the Acetobacter xylinum bacteria in the manufacture of nata cellulose. Sources of nitogen used in the manufacture of nata de coco generally use inorganic nitrogen sources, which in their development have caused many pros and cons, especially with regard to food safety issues when this product is consumed as a beverage. This study aims to obtain the best alternative nitrogen source and concentration in making nata de coco. The experimental design used in this study was nested randomized design with 2 factors as the first factor, the type of nitrogen source, while the second factor was the concentration of the nitrogen source in the first factor. The types of nitrogen sources used as the first factor were tofu industrial wastewater, green bean sprouts and Azolla microphylla, while the second factor was the concentration of nitrogen sources consisting of 4 levels, namely 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. The parameters observed in this study were thickness of nata de coco, weight of nata de coco, crude fiber of nata de coco, number of Acetobacter xylinum cells in the nata de coco layer. The results showed that organic nitrogen sources (tofu, sprouts and Azolla microphylla liquid waste can be an alternative substitute for inorganic nitrogen sources (urea, ZA and ammonium sulfate) which have been commonly used in making nata. The highest quality nata de coco is produced from the treatment of organic nitrogen sources. sprouts with a concentration of 1.5% with a thickness of 2.83 cm, a weight of 279.33 grams, a crude fiber content of 4.14% and the number of Acetobacter xylinum cells in the cellulose layer 0.4 x 107 cells / ml.

ABSTRACT Proteins are a main organic nitrogen source for microorganisms. Many heterotrophic microorganisms secrete extracellular proteases (ex-proteases) to efficiently decompose proteins into oligopeptides and amino acids when exterior proteins are required for growth. These ex-proteases not only play important roles in microbial nutrient acquisition or host infection but also contribute greatly to the global recycling of carbon and nitrogen. Moreover, may microbial ex-proteases have important applications in industrial, medical, and biotechnological areas. Therefore, uncovering the mechanisms by which microorganisms initiate the expression of ex-protease genes in response to exterior proteins is of great significance. In this review, the progress made in understanding the induction mechanisms of microbial ex-proteases in response to exterior proteins is summarized, with a focus on the inducer molecules, membrane sensors, and downstream pathways. Problems to be solved for better understanding of the induction mechanisms of microbial ex-proteases are also discussed.

The blue-green pigment xylindein, produced by the soft rot fungus Chlorociboria aeruginascens, is of considerable interest for various applications such as the veneer industry or organic semiconductors. The studies presented were performed in order to understand the fungal growth as well as the pigment production of C. aeruginascens. Therefore, various nutrient compositions were investigated. As a result, observations of the formation of xylindein through C. aeruginascens decoupling from growth were made. In the primary metabolism the uncolored biomass is formed. Various carbohydrates were determined as nutrients for the fungus and as a nitrogen source it was observed that the fungus prefers the complex organic nitrogen source, that being yeast extract. Furthermore, it was discovered that the ratio between carbohydrate and nitrogen sources encourages the switch of the metabolism and therewith the production of the blue-green pigment xylindein.

Sclerotial blight of tea (Camellia sinensis L.) caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is one of the destructive diseases in tea growing areas of the world. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to know the optimum conditions for the mycelial growth of S. rolfsii. Factors influencing mycelial growth of S. rolfsii were studied with special reference to their growth in different media, variable pH and variable sources of carbon (viz., 6 types) as well as organic (viz., 4 types) and inorganic (viz., 4 types) nitrogen sources. Maximum growth of pathogen occurred after 8 days of inoculation at pH 6. Dextrose was the most effective carbon source and yeast extract (organic source) was found most optimum for growth of S. rolfsii. Organic nitrogen sources were found to be better than inorganic nitrogen sources. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njbs.v1i0.7466 Nepalese Journal of Biosciences 1: 26-31 (2011)

Ethyl Acetate Extracts

The objective of this study was to optimize the factors for the production of antioxidant from Aspergillus candidus CCRC 31543. Extracts of broth filtrate had higher antioxidant activity (inhibition of peroxidation [IP] >98%) when sucrose or lactose was used as a carbon source. Sucrose in the medium also resulted in a higher yield of extracts. Ethyl acetate extracts had the highest yield and antioxidant activity compared with the other two solvents. For the production of antioxidant, inorganic nitrogen sources were found to be more suitable than organic nitrogen sources, and ammonium sulfate was better than sodium nitrate. Yeast extract had a strong influence on the yield of antioxidant extracts. Both mycelium and broth filtrate of A. candidus CCRC 31543 showed similar antioxidant activity (IP = 95%), and they also had similar extraction yields.
