Fermentation is one of the industrially important processes for the development of microbial metabolites that has immense applications in various fields. This has prompted to employ fermentation as a major technique in the production of phytase from microbial source. In this study, a comparison was made between submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentations (SSF) for the production of phytase fromAspergillus nigerCFR 335 andAspergillus ficuumSGA 01. It was found that both the fungi were capable of producing maximum phytase on 5th day of incubation in both submerged and solid-state fermentation media.Aspergillus nigerCFR 335 andA. ficuumproduced a maximum of 60.6 U/gds and 38 U/gds of the enzyme, respectively, in wheat bran solid substrate medium. Enhancement in the enzyme level (76 and 50.7 U/gds) was found when grown in a combined solid substrate medium comprising wheat bran, rice bran, and groundnut cake in the ratio of 2 : 1 : 1. A maximum of 9.6 and 8.2 U/mL of enzyme activity was observed in SmF byA. nigerCFR 335 andA.ficuum, respectively, when grown in potato dextrose broth.

Phytase Production

The present research work was conducted to improve the phytase production by genetic alteration of Aspergillus niger with induced mutagenesis using solid state fermentation. Strain improvement was carried out in the presence of ultra violet (UV) irradiation and ethylmethane sulphonate (EMS) [0.5% v/v] treatments for various time intervals. We reported an improved strain of Aspergillus niger designated as UV-3 mutant producing a zone of hydrolysis of about 40 mm, in comparison to wild strain (26 mm). The highest enzyme activity was found to be 547.64 IU/g for UV-3 mutant followed by EMS-4 mutant (492.23 IU/g)compared to wild strain which showed 406.45 IU/g of enzyme activity. There was 1.35 fold increase in phytase production after mutation studies of Aspergillus niger. Phytase was applied as poultry feed additive and given to broiler chickens for 5 weeks. The results exhibited that there was increase in body weight gain (BWG) of chicks for experimental group (2028 g) in comparison to control group (1903 g). Thus, physical and chemical mutagenesis was proved as an effective technique for the improvement of strain and ultimately for enhanced and economical phytase production for different industrial applications.

Background: Phytic acid acts as anti-nutritional factor in food and feed ingredients for monogastric animals as they lack phytases. Objective: Phytase production by Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 was studied in solid state fermentation and its applicability in dephytinization of food Methods: Bacterial culture was grown in solid state fermentation using wheat bran and various culture conditions were optimized using ‘One variable at a time’ (OVAT) approach. Effects of different substrates (wheat bran, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse), incubation time (24, 48, 72 and 96 h), incubation temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40 oC), pH (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0) and moisture content (1:1.5, 1:2.0, 1:2.5 and 1:3) were studied on phytase production. Bacterial phytase was used in dephytinization of food samples. Results: Optimization of phytase production was studied in solid state fermentation (SSF) using ‘One variable at a time’ (OVAT) approach. Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 grew well in various agroresidues in SSF and secreted high enzyme titres using wheat bran at 30 oC and pH 5.0 after incubation time of 48 h with substrate to moisture ratio of 1:3. Glucose and ammonium sulphate supplementation to wheat bran further enhanced phytase production in SSF. Optimization of phytase production resulted in 2.4-fold improvement in phytase production in solid state fermentation. The enzyme resulted in dephytinization of wheat and rice flours with concomitant release of inorganic phosphate, reducing sugar and soluble protein. Conclusion: Optimization resulted in 2.34-fold enhancement in phytase production by bacterial culture that showed dephytinization of food ingredients with concomitant release of nutritional components. Therefore, phytase of B. subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 could find application in improving nutritional quality of food and feed of monogastric animals.

The study demonstrates the starter construction and its solid state fermentation (SSF) using metropolis lignocellulosic waste defoliation supplemented with wheat bran as substrates for lignocellulases production. The starter is constructed by natural microflora growing on defoliation additionally reinforced with Aspergillus niger ZJU-RYD1, using the SSF substrate defoliation with 90% moisture content, successfully produced the integrate and high active lignocellulases at about 120 h, i.e. CMCase 8.58 U/g, cellobiase 10.97 U/g, FPAase 2.21 U/g, xylanase 446.25 U/g, lassase 9.21U/g. In this study, the strategy is satisfactorily developed to construct the starter for high effective and low-cost production of lignocellulases using metropolis lignocellulosic waste defoliation as substrate, based on natural microflora and additional reinforcing with special strain

Pectic Enzymes

The production of Pectic enzymes by Aspergillus niger was studied under solid state fermentation (SSF). The effect of fermentation condition such as substrate concentration, inoculum volume, incubation time, moistening agent, inducers and organic and inorganic nitrogen sources was studied for enzyme production. Culture conditions were optimized for maximal yield of enzyme. The solid substrate wheat bran was most suitable for pectic enzyme production under SSF. Enzyme production was found maximum after 10 days of incubation. Lactose was found to be most effective as inducer. Gelatin as organic nitrogen source and ammonium nitrate as inorganic nitrogen source yielded high enzyme titres.
