Abstract Cellulases are a complex of enzymes necessary for the complete solubilization of cellulose in sugars, thus playing a key role in the natural carbon cycle through the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the increase in the capacity of Talaromyces amestolkiae CMIAT 055 to produce cellulases by optimizing the components of the culture medium containing banana pseudostem as an inducer, as well as in different agitation configurations in a bioreactor. Optimization was performed through statistical experimental design (Plackett-Burman and DCCR), a study of pH control in bioreactors, and a study of the agitation system by comparing impellers with different flow profiles in the liquid medium. For this purpose, a wild strain of Talaromyces amestolkiae CMIAT 055 was used. In the Plackett-Burman and DCCR statistical design, four components of the culture medium were significant and optimized for greater synthesis of FPase: banana pseudostem, CaCl2, KH2PO4, and urea. In bioreactors tests, these parameters were beneficial for greater enzyme activities: maintenance of pH at 5.0, use of Pitched blade impeller, and rotation speed at 300 rpm. Comparing the first test using banana pseudostem in an Erlenmeyer flask to the last fermentation process in bioreactors, it was observed that the total cellulase activity increased from 424.7 FPU/L to 2172.8 FPU/L. This fact showed that the strategies adopted in this study are a pertinent way to reduce the cost of enzyme production through the use of lignocellulosic materials.

ABSTRACT Thirty seven different colonies were isolated from decomposing logs of textile industries. From among these, a thermotolerant, grampositive, filamentous soil bacteria Streptomyces durhamensis vs15 was selected and screened for cellulase production. The strain showed clear zone formation on CMC agar plate after Gram’s iodine staining.  Streptomyces durhamensis vs15 was further confirmed for cellulase production by estimating the reducing sugars through dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The activity was enhanced by sequential mutagenesis using three mutagens of ultraviolet irradiation (UV), N methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) and Ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS). After mutagenesis, the cellulase activity of GC23 (mutant) was improved to 1.86 fold compared to the wild strain (vs15). Optimal conditions for the production of cellulase by the GC 23 strain were evaluated using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Effect of pH, temperature, duration of incubation, , and substrate concentration on cellulase production were evaluated. Optimal conditions for the production of cellulase enzyme using Carboxy Methyl Cellulase as a substrate are 55 oC of temperature, pH of 5.0 and incubation for 40 h. The cellulase activity of the mutant Streptomyces durhamensis GC23 was further optimised to 2 fold of the activity of the wild type by RSM and ANN.

Optimization of the culture medium for cellulase production using Trichoderma reesei was carried out. The optimization of cellulase production using mango peel as substrate was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of nine nutrients for their influence on cellulase production is achieved using Plackett-Burman design. Avicel, soybean cake flour, KH2PO4, and CoCl2·6H2O were selected based on their positive influence on cellulase production. The composition of the selected components was optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions are as follows: Avicel: 25.30 g/L, Soybean cake flour: 23.53 g/L, KH2PO4: 4.90 g/L, and CoCl2·6H2O: 0.95 g/L. These conditions are validated experimentally which revealed an enhanced Cellulase activity of 7.8 IU/mL.

In order to improve the cellulase-producing ability, the culture medium components and condition were optimized. The results showed that the cellulase activity in the fermentation broth remarkably increased by using 1% corncob residue combined with 1% wheat bran and 1% corncob as carbon source, taking 0.75% soybean meal and 0.3% KON3 as nitrogen source, and adding 0.3% CaCO3 to stabilize the pH to 5.0. The FPase activity in supernatant of A. niger FC-1 fermented with 50mL of the optimal medium in 250mL shake flasks at 30°C reached 101.6U/mL, which was 4.7 times of that before optimization.

Cellulose undergoes hydrolysis utilizing chemicals to deliver glucose, which might be utilized for the production of ethanol, organic acids, and various chemicals. Cellulases are a collection of hydrolytic catalysts that can hydrolyze the most plentiful natural polymer for example cellulose into smaller sugar components including glucose subunits. Cellulase is overpriced and contributes simply half to the general expense of hydrolysis because of the low explicit activity. This enzyme has enormous potential in industries and its use in food, beverages, textile, laundry, paper, and mash industries, and so forth. Consequently, there has been a lot of examination focused on new microorganisms producing cellulose enzymes with higher specific activities and greater efficiency. Currently, work is pointed toward screening and disconnecting cellulolytic growths from the marine samples gathered from the Bay of Bengal, Puri coast, Odisha. All out 7 fungi were isolated from these dirt examples, out of which 2 fungi were portraying the extensive cellulase activity. The fungal isolate, for example, MWF-1 andMSF-6 isolated from water silt respectively were recognized to show the most extreme zone of hydrolysis of carboxy-methyl cellulose. The cellulase activity was assayed by Carboxymethylcellulose "CMCase" (endoglucanase) measure.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose-containing raw materials, using Aspergillus niger, were studied. Filter paper, secondary cellulose-containing or starch-containing raw materials, miscanthus cellulose after alkaline or acid pretreatment, and wood chip cellulose, were used as substrates. The study focused on a wild A. niger strain, treated, or not (control), by ultraviolet (UV) irradiations for 45, 60, or 120 min (UV45, UV60, or UV120), or by UV irradiation for 120 min followed by a chemical treatment with NaN3 + ItBr for 30 min or 80 min (UV120 + CH30 or UV120 + CH80). A mixture of all the A. niger strains (MIX) was also tested. A citrate buffer, at 50 mM, wasthe most suitable for enzymatic hydrolysis. As the UV exposure time increased to 2 h, the cellulase activity of the surviving culturewas increased (r = 0.706; p < 0.05). The enzymatic activities of the obtained strains, towards miscanthus cellulose, wood chips, and filter paper, were inferior to those obtained with commercial enzymes (8.6 versus 9.1 IU), in some cases. Under stationary hydrolysis at 37 °C, pH = 4.7, the enzymatic activity of A. niger UV120 + CH30 was 24.9 IU. The enzymatic hydrolysis of secondary raw materials, using treated A. niger strains, was themost effective at 37 °C. Similarly, the most effective treatment of miscanthus cellulose and wood chips occurred at 50 °C. The maximum conversion of cellulose to glucose was observed using miscanthus cellulose (with alkaline pretreatment), and the minimum conversion was observed when using wood chips. The greatest value of cellulase activity was evidenced in the starch-containing raw materials, indicating that A. niger can ferment not only through cellulase activity, but also via an amylolytic one.

Inulinase (β-2,1-D- fructan fructanohydrolase), EC 3.2.1.7, targets the β-2,1 linkage of inulin, a polyfructan consisting of linear β-2,1 linked fructose, and hydrolyzes it into fructose. This use provides an alternative to produce fructose syrup through the hydrolysis of inulin. The objective of this work was to study the production, characterization and applications of inulinases from the fungal endophyte CCMB 328 isolated from the Brazilian semi-arid region. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to evaluate the effect of variables (concentration of glucose and yeast extract), on secreted inulinase activities detected in the culture medium and also in the inulin hydrolysis. The results showed that the best conditions for inulinase production by CCMB 328 are 9.89 g / L for glucose and 1.09 g / L for yeast extract. The concentration of 0.20 mol/L of NaCl and KCl increased the activity of inulinase from CCMB 328 by approximately 63% and 37%, respectively. The results also showed that the inulinase has potential for inulin hydrolysis, whose conversion yields roughly 72.48 % for an initial concentration of inulin at 1% (w/v).

Abstract The goal of this present investigation was to mutagenize Bacillus subtilis with Ethyl Methyl Sulphonate (EMS), screen the mutants for cellulase production and evaluate the influence of different glucose concentrations on their cellulase production potentials. The wild type B. subtilis was treated with 20, 40, 60 and 80 µl of EMS and the mutants generated were screened for cellulase production in minimal salt medium containing carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) as the carbon source. Quantitatively, cellulase activity and protein contents were determined by dinitrosalicylic acid and Lowry methods respectively. Seven mutants were developed from each of the EMS concentration bringing the total to twenty-eight from all the concentrations. Approximately 14 and 57% of the mutants developed from 40 and 60µl of EMS had higher cellulase activities than the wild type, while none of the mutants developed from 20 and 80 µl of EMS had better activities than the wild type. The supplementation of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% glucose in enzyme production medium caused approximately 100, 14, 29 and 14% cellulase repression respectively in the mutants developed from 60µl EMS. Mutants MSSS02 and MSSS05 were considered as catabolite insensitive mutants because their cellulase production were enhanced in comparison to wild type.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the ability to resist almost all available antibiotics by rapidly accumulating multiple resistance mechanisms and thus lead to a therapeutic impasse and higher mortality in infected patients. The objective of this study was to assess the phenotypic variation in resistance to tobramycin and ofloxacin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa by repeated exhibition after determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration. This is a prospective and descriptive study carried out in the Laboratory of Microbiology of Fundamental and Applied Biochemistry (Faculty of Sciences, Antananarivo) during the month of January 2020. The strains studied were the virulent wild strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 supplied by the Laboratory and two clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the Microbiology Laboratory of the Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona University Hospital Center, Antananarivo. The strains of P. aeruginosa were cultured in the liquid culture medium (which is Luria Bertani, added with a buffer system of 3- (N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (LB-MOPS) which will stabilize the pH and a solid culture medium which is Columbia agar. Repeated exhibition to Tobramycin and Ofloxacin from these strains have been made. The MIC is determined by a visual evaluation of the turbidity of the various wells of the microplate. The MIC value of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with tobramycin and ofloxacin is very variable for the initial MIC until the 5th generation after repeated exhibition. More Pseudomonas aeruginosa is exposed to an antibiotic many times, the more it develops resistance to this antibiotic, even being sensitive at the start. That is to say, clinically, the dose prescribed for the antibiotic has been greatly exceeded if Pseudomonas aeruginosa is repeatedly exposed to the same antibiotic.

ABSTRACT Erwinia chrysanthemi produces a battery of hydrolases and lyases which are very effective in the maceration of plant cell walls. Although two endoglucanases (CelZ and CelY; formerly EGZ and EGY) are produced, CelZ represents approximately 95% of the total carboxymethyl cellulase activity. In this study, we have examined the effectiveness of CelY and CelZ alone and of combinations of both enzymes using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and amorphous cellulose (acid-swollen cellulose) as substrates. Synergy was observed with both substrates. Maximal synergy (1.8-fold) was observed for combinations containing primarily CelZ; the ratio of enzyme activities produced was similar to those produced by cultures of E. chrysanthemi. CelY and CelZ were quite different in substrate preference. CelY was unable to hydrolyze soluble cellooligosaccharides (cellotetraose and cellopentaose) but hydrolyzed CMC to fragments averaging 10.7 glucosyl units. In contrast, CelZ readily hydrolyzed cellotetraose, cellopentaose, and amorphous cellulose to produce cellobiose and cellotriose as dominant products. CelZ hydrolyzed CMC to fragments averaging 3.6 glucosyl units. In combination, CelZ and CelY hydrolyzed CMC to products averaging 2.3 glucosyl units. Synergy did not require the simultaneous presence of both enzymes. Enzymatic modification of the substrate by CelY increased the rate and extent of hydrolysis by CelZ. Full synergy was retained by the sequential hydrolysis of CMC, provided CelY was used as the first enzyme. A general mechanism is proposed to explain the synergy between these two enzymes based primarily on differences in substrate preference.

In this study, a statistical experimental design based on response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to predict and optimize the compressive strength of alkali-activated phosphorus slag in different ages (3, 7, and 28 days). For this purpose, the binder samples were prepared with different molar ratios of SiO2/Na2O (S/N), Na2O/Al2O3(Na/Al), and H2O/Al2O3(H/Al) as alkali activator. Results showed that S/N molar ratio plays its role in early ages of curing and Na/Al molar ratio, and showed its significant effect on 7 and 28 days of compressive strength. H/Al molar ratio had the most significant effect on compressive strength compared to the other parameters. The derived RSM models were statistically adequate and could be used to predict the compressive strength. The optimum chemical composition of activator to obtain the highest compressive strength was achieved as 0.39, 1.34, and 30 for S/N, Na/Al, and H/Al molar ratios, respectively, with compressive strength of 30, 65, and 100 MPa at 3, 7, and 28 days of curing.
