We previously demonstrated the production and purification of novel halo-acid-alkali-thermo-stable xylanase from halophilic bacterium Gracilibacillus sp. TSCPVG using submerged fermentation (SmF). In this work, we further showed the production of halophilic xylanase by solid state fermentation (SSF) from halophilic bacterium Gracilibacillus sp. TSCPVG using cheap solid-substrate wheat bran. High levels of enzyme titers (657 U/g dw) were obtained after varying certain SSF parameters such as incubation period, particle size, moisture ratio, salinity, pH, temperature and by supplementing different carbon and nitrogen sources externally to the fermentation medium. This bacterium could be a novel strain due to its ability to produce high titers of xylanase with extremophilic characters even under the conditions of SSF. Thus, this beneficiary role may lead to a substantial reduction in the overall cost of enzyme production and may have a huge impact on the economics of hemicellulose degradation under high saline conditions.

The production of laccase by solid-state fermentation (SSF) usingArmillariella tabescenswas studied. Wheat bran was selected to be the most suitable solid substrate. Several operational variables including nitrogen source, moisture content, copper and aromatic inducers were investigated. The results showed that the complex nitrogen sources, NH4NO3coupled with peptone was shown to be the best nitrogen source. 75% of initial moisture content was proved to be appropriate. Copper significantly influenced the laccase production and the yield of laccase was improved by addition of 1.5 mM copper sulphate in the medium. Guaiacol efficiently induced the laccase production and the enzyme yield (24500U/g) was enhanced by 32% compared with he control without any aromatic inducers. Efficient production of laccase fromA. tabescenscan be achieved by solid-state fermentation.

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.

The amylase producing fungi were isolated from spoiled fruits, vegetables and soil, in and around Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The isolates were identified and five fungal species were screened. The best amylase producer among them, Aspergillus sp was selected for enzyme production by both sub merged fermentation using mineral salt medium (MSM) and solid state fermentations using wheat bran as a solid substrate. The various parameters influencing solid state fermentation were optimized. The most important factors are such as pH, incubation temperature, incubation period, carbon sources, nitrogen sources and moisture content. The maximum amount of enzyme production was obtained when solid state fermentation was carried out with soluble starch as carbon source and beef extract (1% each) as nitrogen source, optimum conditions of pH 7.0, an incubation temperature of 25 (±2) °C, incubation time 96 h and 62% moisture content.
