The experiment was conducted to isolate and screen fungal strain and optimization of solid-state fermentation conditions for enhanced production of β-glucosidase. Different fungal cultures were isolated and screened for β-glucosidase production. The physicochemical and nutritional parameters were optimized for enhanced production of β-glucosidase from higher producer. Among all the isolates the isolate which exhibited highest β-glucosidase potential was identified and assigned the code as Aspergillus niger MBT-2. The optimum β-glucosidase production was obtained in M5 medium containing wheat bran after 72 hrs of incubation at 40°C, pH 6 and 20 ml of moisture contents. In addition to this 2% fructose and 2% yeast extract proved to be best carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively and gave maximal enzyme productivity. The exploitation of agricultural by products as a substrate reduced the production cost of enzyme and makes the process economical. The Aspergillus niger MBT-2 has promising potential of bioconversion of low-cost material into valuable product like β-glucosidase.

Pectinase Production

Different fungal strains were isolated from the local soil, fruits and vegetables on the basis of pectin hydrolysis. All the isolated strains were identified through microscopic studies and screened for pectinase production using solid state fermentation. The fungal strain identified as Aspergillus niger IBT-7 showed the highest pectinase production. The selected strain was further subjected to optimization through different physical and nutritional parameters to enhance the production of pectinase. Amongst seven different media tested M1 containing rice bran, moistened with Czapek’s nutrient medium showed the highest pectinase production. During optimization maximum pectinase production was achieved after 72 hrs of incubation at 30 ml of moisture content, pH 5.0 and 30°C. Xylose (1.5%) and yeast extract (1%) proved to be best supplemented carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively which gave the highest pectinase production (39.1 U/ml/min).

The study demonstrates the starter construction and its solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice straw as substrate for lignocellulases production. The starter is constructed by natural microflora growing on rice straw additionally reinforced with Aspergillus niger ZJU-RYD1, using the SSF substrate rice straw with 90% moisture content, successfully produced the integrate and high active lignocellulases at about 72 h, i.e. CMCase 12.44 U/g, cellobiase 12.05 U/g, FPAase 3.18 U/g, xylanase 365.61 U/g, lassase 2.48 U/g. In this study the strategy is satisfactorily developed to construct the starter for high effective and low-cost production of lignocellulases using rice straw as substrate, based on natural microflora and additional reinforcing with special strain.

Opening Up

Five strains of filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger strains NRRL 3122 and T0005007-2, Aspergillus oryzae CCT 3940, Aspergillus awamori NRRL 3112 and a Trichoderma sp.) were compared for their capacity to produce endo-polygalacturonase (endo-PG) in solid state fermentation. Maximum pectinolytic activity was reached in 72 h of growth, the best two fungal strains being A. niger T0005007-2 and A. oryzae CCT 3940. Three types of commercial purified pectin and four of unprocessed pectin (tangerine, orange, Tahiti lime and sweet lime rind) were used to assess the effect of pectin on the production of endo-PG by A. niger T0005007-2. Maximum pectinolytic activity was achieved using 6 and 10% (w/w) of purified pectin as inducer. Depending on the origin of the commercial pectin used as inducer, maximum endo-PG levels varied from 223 to 876 units per gram of dry medium (one endo-PG unit (U) was defined as the quantity of enzyme which caused a reduction in viscosity of 50% in a 1% w/v solution of pectin in 30 min), indicating that care should be taken when choosing this component of the medium. When the crude pectins were used as inducers at the same concentration as purified pectin, maximum endo-PG activities were 250-300 units/g. However, by increasing the amount of Tahiti lime rind to 50% (w/w) maximum endo-PG was 919 U/g, thus opening up the possibility of a low cost medium for endo-PG production.

In Nigeria, agro by-products have not been fully utilized by many and often discarded at the dumping site. This anthropogenic activity is contributing to an increase in pollution and is a threat to public health. Environmental sustainability requires the wise use of resources that include agro by-products. Therefore, there is a need to utilize the agro by-product for the production of enzymes such as α-amylase. α -amylase is one of the important extracellular enzymes with several uses. The development of suitable technology to produce enzymes at a very lower cost is significant. The solid-state fermentation (SSF) process using corn and wheat wastes as a substrate have been utilized. In this study, Aspergillus niger from abattoir effluent was identified, isolated and used for the production of an enzyme (α-amylase). The study evaluated the effect of temperature, pH and incubation period on the activities of α-amylase produced by Aspergillus niger. The activity of α-amylase was found to be higher at pH 6.5 and temperature above 50oC. At 4 days incubation of the solid-state fermentation of corn and wheat wastes, α-amylase activities produced were 90.61 Unit/mL and 87.34 Unit/mL respectively. Also in this study, 3-dimensional presentation of the pH, temperature and incubation time were evaluated. The result presented an optimal condition for amylase activity produced by Aspergillus niger.
