AbstractPolypores are diverse macrofungi that have been extensively studied for their enzyme production capabilities. Presently, these enzymes are being used for many industrial purposes. However, the high-cost associated with their production is the main barrier to their broader application. This work aimed to study the optimal medium and conditions by using solid state fermentation. Seven polypore strains were used for cellulase activity screening. The fermentation experiments were carried out in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks with green tea waste as a substrate. Notably, Microporus sp. KA038 showed the best level of activity of 81.8 IU/gds. Various parameters such as temperature on growth, moisture content, nitrogen source, initial pH value, inoculum size and incubation time were considered to determine the optimal conditions for cellulase production. The optimal medium consisted of green tea leaves as a carbon source, beef extract as an organic nitrogen source, and NH4H2PO4 as an inorganic nitrogen source, while pH 7.0 and an incubation temperature of 30°C for 4 days resulted in a high enzyme yield with Microporus sp. KA038.

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.

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 strains capable of degrading cellulose have attracted much interest because of their applications in straw resource utilization in solid-state fermentation (SSF). However, achieving high spore production in SSF is rarely reported. The production of spores from Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1 was investigated in shaker-flask cultivation in this study. The optimal carbon, organic nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen sources were sucrose, yeast extract and urea, respectively. Plackett–Burman design (PBD) was adopted to determine the key medium components, and the concentration levels of three components (urea, NaCl, MgSO4·7H2O) were optimized with the steepest ascent path and central composite design (CCD), achieving 1.72 × 109 CFU/g of spore production. Under the optimal conditions (urea 2.718% w/v, NaCl 0.0697% w/v, MgSO4·7H2O 0.06956% w/v), the practical value of spore production was 1.69 × 109 CFU/g. The determination coefficient (R2) was 0.9498, which ensures an adequate credibility of the model.

AbstractObjective:The aim of this work was to study the optimal cultivation conditions for β-galactosidase production byBacillus licheniformisATCC 12759.Materials and methods:The screening of β-galactosidase production fromB. licheniformisATCC 12759 was performed by solid state fermentation method on media rich with rice bran (RB). Different factors were tested for the optimization of β-galactosidase production.Results:Certain fermentation parameters involving incubation time, incubation temperature, inoculum level, moisture content, initial pH, agitation speed, size of fermentation medium and optimum temperature of β-galactosidase activity were studied separately. Maximal amount of β-galactosidase production was obtained when solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out using RB, having inoculum level 35%, moisture content of 20%, initial pH 7.5 at 37°C for 48 h.Conclusion:Results indicated that optimal fermentation conditions play a key role in the maximum production of β-galactosidase fromB. licheniformisATCC 12759. This study shows the potential of the studied enzymes to be promoting candidates for the degradation of lactose and production of important bioproducts.

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) has became one of the most consumed beverages in the world in the past five thousand years, and tea polyphenols (TPs) are important organic acids widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, which have been shown to exhibit various biological and pharmacological properties. In order to look for new technology of downstream process for TPs separation from green tea waste, selective extraction of TPs with 12 varieties of solvents were carried out, the distribution coefficient and equilibrium experiments at various temperatures were described by extraction isotherms model. The results indicated that the optimum solvent conditions were as follow: extractent was glyceryl triacetate, extraction temperature range was 20~30°C, pH value of crude TPs and reextractant were 3.17 and 9, respectively. Equilibrium data of TPs were successfully fitted to Henry isotherm, the distribution coefficient decreases with the increasing of the temperature, which showing an exothermic adsorption process. The data obtained is useful in the designing of solvent extraction process for the recovery of TPs from green tea waste.

Penicillium funiculosum, Penicillium lilacinum, and Spicaria violacea produced excellent yields of dextranase if ketodextran replaced dextran as a carbon source. Ketodextrans I and II having degrees of substitution of 2 and 20% respectively were used in this study. P. funiculosum grew equally well on dextran and ketodextran I but less well on ketodextran II. Addition of a readily metabolizable carbohydrate such as glucose, sucrose, or galactose stimulated growth on ketodextran II, resulting in better dextranase production. However, excess glucose reversed this increase in enzyme production. Replacement of an inorganic nitrogen source with an organic one further stimulated dextranase production during growth of P. funiculosum on ketodextran II.
