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.

Ability of two strains ofAspergillus terreus(ATCC 74135 and ATCC 20542) for production of lovastatin in solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice straw (RS) and oil palm frond (OPF) was investigated. Results showed that RS is a better substrate for production of lovastatin in SSF. Maximum production of lovastatin has been obtained usingA. terreusATCC 74135 and RS as substrate without additional nitrogen source (157.07 mg/kg dry matter (DM)). Although additional nitrogen source has no benefit effect on enhancing the lovastatin production using RS substrate, it improved the lovastatin production using OPF with maximum production of 70.17 and 63.76 mg/kg DM forA. terreusATCC 20542 andA. terreusATCC 74135, respectively (soybean meal as nitrogen source). Incubation temperature, moisture content, and particle size had shown significant effect on lovastatin production (P<0.01) and inoculums size and pH had no significant effect on lovastatin production (P>0.05). Results also have shown that pH 6, 25°C incubation temperature, 1.4 to 2 mm particle size, 50% initial moisture content, and 8 days fermentation time are the best conditions for lovastatin production in SSF. Maximum production of lovastatin using optimized condition was 175.85 and 260.85 mg/kg DM forA. terreusATCC 20542 and ATCC 74135, respectively, using RS as substrate.

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.

Abstract In this study L-glutaminase production by extremely halotolerant Halomonas elongata MM-5 using solid-state fermentation was investigated. Screening of a variety of agro-industrial byproducts such as rice husk, green gram husk, bengal gram husk, red gram husk, safflower oil cake, groundnut oil cake, black gram husk, groundnut skin and wheat bran was carried out individually and in different combinations. Optimization of various physicochemical parameters namely incubation time, pH, temperature, initial moisture content, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, L-glutamine concentration and inoculum level was carried out. Among the various substrates screened individually red gram husk supported the maximum production of enzyme 79.03±0.49 IU/gds. In the mixture of substrates screened red gram husk and bengal gram husk in the ratio (60:40) showed maximum 92.06±1.42 IU/gds enzyme production. The L-glutaminase production was maximum after 4 days of incubation period, pH 8, temperature 40°C and 80 percent moisture content. The lactose and malt extract used as carbon and nitrogen sources respectively supported the maximum yield of L-glutaminase. After screening and optimization of various parameters, the yield of L-glutaminase increased from 79.03 to 159.12 IU/gds.

Nowadays, a lot of interest has been given to the development of cost-effective and efficient enzyme production technologies. Laccase enzymes are widely used in biotechnological, environmental and industrial sectors. Due to the cost-effectiveness of the solid-state fermentation (SSF) process, it is widely used to produce a broad range of biological products. In this study, optimization of moisture content, temperature, pH, and inoculum size were studied to enhance laccase production ability of Pleurotus sajor-caju in SSF by using One Factor At Time (OFAT) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). OFAT was used as a baseline study for deducing the experimental design of RSM. The highest production of laccase enzyme (1450 U/g) by Pleurotus sajor-caju on wheat straw was observed at 26°C, 6.0 pH, 72.5 % moisture content, 7.5% inoculum size, 1% fructose and 0.5 % peptone. Unlike the conventional inoculum preparation method, here the inoculum was generated by the spawning method for SSF. The molecular weight of partially purified laccase from Pleurotus sajor-caju was estimated to be around 62 K Da using SDS PAGE. The activity staining of laccase was observed as a zymogram on Native PAGE using ABTS as a substrate. Lignin degradation of wheat straw and its structural disruption due to laccase was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Lovastatin is a potent drug for lowering the blood cholesterol. It is a competitive inhibitor of 3-hyroxy3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, which is a key enzyme in the cholesterol production pathway. Lovastatin increases the good cholesterol or high-density lipoproteins to prevent the formation of plaque inside the blood vessels. This study aims to develop a process model of lovastatin production, produced by Monascus purpureus under solid-state fermentation using oil palm frond. SuperPro Design V9.5 software was used to develop and simulate the process model. Three parameters which are initial moisture content, composition of peptone and potassium, were varied to investigate their effects on lovastatin production. The optimum condition simulated using the process model at pH 7 with 60% initial moisture content, 0.0075 kg/hr of potassium, and 0.0075 kg/hr of peptone was able to produce 0.0288 kg/kg of lovastatin. The simulated results show good agreement with experimental work, with low percentage error of 5.77%, and provide a good approximation on the production of lovastatin under various process operating conditions.

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.

Proteases, also known as proteinases or proteolytic enzymes, belong to a group of hydrolases. It can be applied in numerous fields and industries. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is recognized as an effective method to produce protease. The ultimate aim of this study is to optimize the production of protease from Aspergillus niger under solid-state fermentation (SSF) by utilizing shrimp shell powder as a solid substrate. It was found that the produced protease from SSF was slightly alkaline. The correlation between factors operating parameters (incubation temperature, inoculum size, moisture content) for enzyme production is analyzed using statistical software, Minitab 16. A 23 full factorial experimental design was employed, and the enzyme produced was optimized by the method of desirability function. The optimal conditions for protease production of 3.7 U/mg were 35 °C of incubation temperature, 60% of initial moisture content, and 1.0 inoculum size. It is concluded that SSF protease was successfully produced from Aspergillus niger by utilizing shrimp waste as substrate. Through optimization study, moisture content, the interaction between incubation temperature and moisture content, interaction between moisture content and inoculum size significantly impact protease production.
