Mustard oil cake (Brassica napus), the residue obtained after extraction of mustard oil from mustard oil seeds, was investigated for the production of lipase under solid state fermentation (SSF) using the marine yeast Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589. Process parameters such as incubation time, biomass concentration, initial moisture content, carbon source concentration and nitrogen source concent...

L-asparaginase (L-asparagine amido hydrolase, E.C.3.5.1.1) is a promising chemotherapeutic agent which plays a vital role in treatment of a variety of lymphoproliferative disorders, lymphosarcoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in particular. An attempt is made in the present study to optimize the production of L-asparaginase by Fusarium equiseti using soya bean meal under solid state fermenta...

In this work, the effect of particle size on the enzymatic hydrolysis of milled and sieved sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was studied. The enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentability of superfine ground SCB (SGP400) using an enzyme cocktail strategy were also explored. Particle size reduction improved the enzymatic hydrolysis. The highest glucose yield was 44.75%, which was obtained from SGP400. The enzym...

Context: In this review, we discuss empirical and stoichiometric models, which have been developed recently in SSF processes and the influence of environmental conditions on the variables of these models. Additionally, new studies on modeling of product formation are also mentioned. Evidence Acquisition: Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is recognized as a cheap process for producing many valuable...

Bacillus subtilis strain TrigoCor 1448 was grown on wheat middlings in 0.5-l solid-state fermentation (SSF) bioreactors for the production of an antifungal biological control agent. Total antifungal activity was quantified using a 96-well microplate bioassay against the plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis. The experimental design for process optimization consisted of a 2(6-1) fract...

Of the 34 fungal species, isolated from a number of oily substrates, 9 exhibited lipase activity. AU 15, identified as Aspergillus sp., was found to be excellent lipase producer in submerged fermentation and was selected for solid-state fermentation (SSF). Among substrates like oil cakes of coconut, groundnut and sesame, wheat rawa, bombay rawa and soya beans (crushed), wheat rawa showed the hi...

This study was initiated to evaluate and optimize the conversion of animal fat from tannery wastes into methyl ester. In the pre-treatment stage, animal fats feedstock was hydrolysed and esterified through solid state fermentation (SSF) using Microbacterium species immobilized onto sand silica matrix. After 72 hours of fermentation, predominant esters in the animal fats were found to be with 83...

The production of neomycin by the actinomycete Streptomyces fradiae, under semi-solid-state fermentation conditions was the main subject of this study. Two supports (nylon sponge and orange peelings) were tested in order to determine the most suitable one for the production of neomycin by the above-mentioned microorganism. Nylon sponge led to the highest neomycin production, reaching a maximum ...

The production of extracellular -amylase by producing Bacillus subtilis RSKK96 was studied under solid state fermentation (SSF). Various agroresidues as substrate were studied for enzyme production. The highest enzyme yield was expressed with cotton stalk substrate (1016.3 ± 32.6 U g · 10). Production parameters were optimized as incubation time 72 hours, incubation temperature 37 °C, agitation...

The production of extra cellular lipase in Solid State Fermentation (SSF) using Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 with Palm Kernal cake (Elaeis guineensis) has been studied. Different parameters such as incubation time, inoculum level, initial moisture content, carbon level and nitrogen level of the medium were optimized. Screening of various process variables has been accomplished with the help of...
