The low-cost production of cellulolytic complexes that present high action at mild conditions is one of the major bottlenecks for the economic viability of the production of cellulosic ethanol. The influence of agro-industrial residues was assessed to enhance endoglucanase production by Aspergillus niger 426 grown in solid state fermentation. The highest percentage of lignin degradation was found on soybean hulls (56%) followed by sugarcane bagasse (36%) and rice straw (8.5%). The cellulose degradation, around 90%, was observed on soybean hulls and sugarcane bagasse, but only 50% on rice straw, and maximum production of endoglucanase (112.34 ± 0.984 U mL-1) was observed for soybean hulls. The best Experimental Mixture Design condition was under cultivation of 2.5 g of sugarcane bagasse, 2.3 g of rice straw and 5.2 g of soybean hulls, leading to a maximum activity of 138.92 ± 0.02 U mL-1. The statistical methodology enabled an increase of over 20% in the production of endoglucanase using agro-industrial waste. These data demonstrate that A. niger 426 is a potential source of cellulases which can be obtained by solid state fermentation using agro-industrial waste.

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.

Abstract Naringin (4,5,7-trihydroxy flavanone-7-rhamnoglucoside), considered as the main bitter component of grapefruit, requires the use of enzymes to reduce the level of this substance during juice processing. For this reason, it has been the focus of many studies. To increase the production of naringinase by Aspergillus niger cultivated in solid-state fermentation (SSF), it was verified whether the influence of agro-industrial residues as fermentation substrates and, finally, selected the best of the three inducers, or their mixtures to remove the bitterness of grapefruit juice. Cultivation with 2.3 g of grapefruit peel, 2.5 g of rice bran, and 5.2 g of wheat bran and medium supplementation with a mixture of naringin, rutin, and hesperidin in the concentration of (g / L): 2, 5, 4.5, and 3.0, respectively, leading to a maximum activity of 28 U / mL. The results indicate that the sequencing procedure, which allowed the definition of an optimal mixture of components, is a new way for microorganisms to have a high naringinase yield, in particular by SSF, since our data showed a 96% increase in the production of naringinase.

Four isolates of Aspergillus niger (viz., CA16, 14/20, HB3 and 318) were used for citric acid production using sugarcane bagasse as a substrate and sucrose solution as a moistening agent. Using 3 g of sugarcane bagasse as substrate, the highest citric acid production was obtained when 10 ml of 14% sucrose solution was used as moistening agent. Maximum citric acid production was found after 11 days fermentation for all isolates of A. niger. Both sugar utilization as well as citric acid production was found highest in the presence of Prescott salt by A. niger 318 (196.21 ìg/g), followed next by A. niger 14/20 (103.06 ìg/g). However, in absence of Prescott salt both sugar utilization and citric acid production was highest (50.01 ìg/g) by A. niger 14/20. In general, extension of the fermentation (up to 11 days) resulted in an increase in citric acid, total titratable acid and biomass, and decrease in both residual sugar concentrations.

 An α-L-Rhamnosidase released by Aspergillus niger during solid-state fermentation (SSF) using coffee pulp (CP) wastes media has been investigated. The activity of α-L-Rhamnosidase based on reducing sugar production against 2% CP alkali extract substrate in 50 mM acetate buffer pH 5. The maximum activity of α-L-Rham-nosidase was obtained in sixth-day SSF with reducing sugar pro-duction of 13 μg/mL. The enzyme is actively hydrolyzed 0.1% p-ni-trophenyl-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (PNP-Rha) to 95% from initial concentration. Purification using DEAE-Toyopearl 650M increased hydrolysis activity ten times against the substrate, reaching 134 μg/mL of reducing sugar. Optimum enzyme activity at pH 4.5 and 50°C, while stable at pH and temperature in a pH range of 3.5-7 and below 50°C.
