AbstractObjective: Glucoamylase is a hydrolyzing enzyme with several industrial applications. Glucoamylase was produced via a solid state fermentation by three naturally occurring zygomycetes fungi of Mucor indicus, Mucor hiemalis, and Rhizopus oryzae on wheat bran.Methods: The effects of cultivation temperature, medium moisture content, and cultivation time on the enzyme production were investigated. Experiments were designed with an orthogonal central composite design on the three variables using response surface methodology (RSM).Results: For glucoamylase production, the optimum temperature and medium moisture content for the three fungi were 26.6°C and 71.8%, respectively. The optimum cultivation time for M. hiemalis and R. oryzae was 33.1 h, while it was 66.8 h for M. indicus. At optimum conditions, glucoamylase production by M. indicus, M. hiemalis, and R. oryzae was respectively 255.3, 272.3, and 1545.3 U per g dry substrate.Conclusion: R. oryzae is a suitable candidate for industrial production of glucoamylase.

AbstractIt was the objective of the present study to increase the production of glucoamylase by Aspergillus awamori through solid state fermentation, using wheat bran as the main carbon source and (NH4)2SO4, urea, KH2PO4, glucose, maltose and starch as additional nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon sources. The production of glucoamylase is strongly influenced by N and C sources. A 100% increase was observed when the (NH4)2SO4 was replaced by urea, with C/N = 4.8, using maltose as the additional carbon source. C/P ratios in a range of 5.1 to 28.7 did not induce glucoamylase production under the studied conditions.

The conditions of glucoamylase production of theRhizopus oryzaeinLuzhou-flavorDaQu by solid state fermentation were studied. According to the Box-Benhnken design, the conditiones of glucoamylase production of theRhizopus oryzaewere optimized by solid state fermentation. The results showed the optimum conditions of glucoamylase production of theRhizopus oryzaeinLuzhou-flavorDaQu by solid state fermentation were culture temperature 29°C, the water content in culture medium 53%, culture time 164h, glucoamylase activity was 2194.44U/g.
