چکیده مقاله:

Polygalacturonase production under different shear stress environments by Aspergillus sp. was studied. It was found that the rate of enzyme production in the stirred tank fermentor decreased with increasing the stirrer speed in the range 300-750 rpm. On the other hand, in a split cylinder air-lift fermentor, the rate of polygalacturonase production slightly increased with increasing in air rate from 1.5 to 2 v.v.m (volume air/culture volume/minute). The maximum enzyme titres at the end of the cultivation period in the airlift fermentor were 35 unit/ml and at least twice of that obtained in agitated fermentors. Measurement of main hyphal length in agitated and air-lift fermentors suggested break up of the mycelia in the higher shear environment of stirred fermentor especially at the higher agitation rates. The similarity in the trend of the enzyme production and main hyphal length suggested a possible relationship between the morphology and productivity of the Aspergillus sp. used in the present study.

Isolation and Characterization of Polygalacturonase Produced by Tetracoccosporium sp.

Thirty-five fungal strains which isolated from vegetable wastes, were screened for the use of polygalacturonic acid as the sole carbon source. Twenty-five isolates were positive for polygalacturonase activity in cup-plate assay, as evidenced by clear hydrolysation zones. The most productive strain was determined by measuring clear zones formed around colonies stained with ruthenium red.</em...

Production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger using cane molasses in a stirred fermentor

The present investigation deals with the kinetics of submerged citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger using blackstrap molasses as the basal fermentation media. A laboratory scale stirred fermentor of 15-L capacity having working volume of 9-L was used for cultivation process and nutritional analysis. Among the 10 stock cultures of Aspergillus niger, the strain GCBT7 was found to enhance...

Pectinase and Polygalacturonase Production by a Thermophilic Aspergillus Fumigatus Isolated from Decomposting Orange Peels

A thermophilic fungal strain producing both pectinase and polygalacturonase was isolated after primary screening of 120 different isolates. The fungus was identified as Aspergillus fumigatus Fres. MTCC 4163. Using solid-state cultivation, the optimum levels of variables for pectinase and polygalacturonase (PG) production were determined. Maximal levels of enzyme activities were achieved upon gr...

Optimization of Process Variables of Citric Acid Production Using Aspergillus Niger In A Batch Fermentor

sucrose concentration of 60 g/l. Lower amounts of citric acids were found to be produced with other speeds (250-310 rpm).The oxygen flow rate of 1.0 lpm was observed to he most favorable flow rate giving maximum amount of Citric acid (26.6 g/l) with initial sucrose concentration of (60 g/l).. Lower Citric acids were found to be produced with other flow rates (1.5-2.5 lpm).
