The present study describes the screening of different agroindustrial byproducts for enhanced production of alkaline protease by a wild and EMS induced mutant strain ofBacillus subtilisIH-72EMS8. During submerged fermentation, different agro-industrial byproducts were tested which include defatted seed meals of rape, guar, sunflower, gluten, cotton, soybean, and gram. In addition to these meals, rice bran, wheat bran, and wheat flour were also evaluated for protease production. Of all the byproducts tested, soybean meal at a concentration of 20 g/L gave maximum production of the enzyme, that is, 5.74  ±  0.26 U/mL from wild and 11.28  ±  0.45 U/mL from mutant strain, during submerged fermentation. Different mesh sizes (coarse, medium, and fine) of the soybean meal were also evaluated, and a finely ground soybean meal (fine mesh) was found to be the best. In addition to the defatted seed meals, their alkali extracts were also tested for the production of alkaline protease byBacillus subtilis, but these were proved nonsignificant for enhanced production of the enzyme. The production of the enzyme was also studied in solid state fermentation, and different agro-industrial byproducts were also evaluated for enzyme production. Wheat bran partially replaced with guar meal was found as the best substrate for maximum enzyme production under solid state fermentation conditions.

Pectin lyase and polygalacturonase production by newly isolated fungal strains was carried out in solid-state fermentation. Moniliella SB9 and Penicillium sp EGC5 produced polygalcturonase (PG) and pectin lyase (PL) on mixture of orange bagasse, sugar cane bagasse and wheat bran as substrate. PG and PL produced by Moniliella presented optimum activity at pH 4.5 and 10.0 and at 55 and 45°C, respectively, while these enzymes from Penicillium sp presented optimum activity at pH 4.5-5.0 and 9.0 and 40°C, respectively.

AbstractObjective:The aim of this work was to study the optimal cultivation conditions for β-galactosidase production byBacillus licheniformisATCC 12759.Materials and methods:The screening of β-galactosidase production fromB. licheniformisATCC 12759 was performed by solid state fermentation method on media rich with rice bran (RB). Different factors were tested for the optimization of β-galactosidase production.Results:Certain fermentation parameters involving incubation time, incubation temperature, inoculum level, moisture content, initial pH, agitation speed, size of fermentation medium and optimum temperature of β-galactosidase activity were studied separately. Maximal amount of β-galactosidase production was obtained when solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out using RB, having inoculum level 35%, moisture content of 20%, initial pH 7.5 at 37°C for 48 h.Conclusion:Results indicated that optimal fermentation conditions play a key role in the maximum production of β-galactosidase fromB. licheniformisATCC 12759. This study shows the potential of the studied enzymes to be promoting candidates for the degradation of lactose and production of important bioproducts.
