Parametric optimization of feruloyl esterase production from Aspergillus terreus strain GA2 isolated from tropical agro-ecosystems cultivating sweet sorghum

A fungal strain, Aspergillus terreus strain GA2, isolated from an agricultural field cultivating sweet sorghum, produced feruloyl esterase using maize bran. In order to obtain maximum yields of feruloyl esterase, the solid state fermentation (SSF) conditions for enzyme production were standardized. Effective feruloyl esterase production was observed with maize bran as substrate followed by wheat bran, coconut husk, and rice husk among the tested agro-waste crop residues. Optimum particle size of 0.71- 0.3 mm and moisture content of 80% favored enzyme production. Moreover, optimum feruloyl esterase production was observed at pH 6.0 and a temperature of 30 degrees C. Supplementation of potato starch (0.6%) as the carbon source and casein (1%) as the nitrogen source favored enzyme production. Furthermore, the culture produced the enzyme after 7 days of incubation when the C:N ratio was 5. Optimization of the SSF conditions revealed that maximum enzyme activity (1,162 U/gds) was observed after 7 days in a production medium of 80% moisture content and pH 6.0 containing 16 g maize bran [25% (w/v)] of particle size of 0.71-0.3 mm, 0.6% potato starch, 3.0% casein, and 64 ml of formulated basal salt solution. Overall, the enzyme production was enhanced by 3.2-fold as compared with un-optimized conditions.     

Optimization of culture conditions for the production of haloalkaliphilic thermostable protease from an extremely halophilic archaeon Halogeometricum sp. TSS101

AIMS: Isolation and screening of extreme halophilic archaeon producing extracellular haloalkaliphilic protease and optimization of culture conditions for its maximum production. METHODS AND RESULTS: Halogeometricum sp. TSS101 was isolated from salt samples and screened for the secretion of protease on gelatin and casein plates containing 20% NaCl. The archaeon was grown aerobically in a 250 ml flask containing 50 ml of (w/v) NaCl 20%; MgCl(2) 1%; KCl 0.5%; trisodium citrate 0.3%; and peptone 1%; pH 7.2 at 40 degrees C on rotary shaker. The production of enzyme was investigated at various pH, temperatures, NaCl concentrations, metal ions and different carbon and nitrogen sources. The partially purified protease had activity in a broad pH range (7.0-10.0) with optimum activity at pH 10.0 and a temperature (60 degrees C). The enzyme was thermostable and retained 70% initial activity at 80 degrees C. Maximum protease production occurred at 40 degrees C in a medium containing 20% NaCl (w/v) and 1% skim milk powder after 84 h in shaking culture. Enzyme secretion was observed at a broad pH range of 7.0-10.0. Addition of CaCl(2) (200 mmol) to the culture medium enhanced the production of protease. Protein rich flours proved to be cheap and good alternative source for enzyme production. Different osmolytes were tested for the growth and production of haloalkaliphilc protease and found that betaine and glycerol enhanced growth without secretion of the protease. Immobilization studies showed that whole cells immobilized in 2% alginate beads were stable up to 10 batches and able to secrete the protease, which attained maximum production within 60 h under shaking conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Halogeometricum sp. TSS101 secreted an extracellular haloalkaliphilic and thermostable protease. The optimum conditions required for maximum production are 20% NaCl, 1% skim milk powder and temperature at 40 degrees C. Addition of CaCl(2) (200 mmol) enhanced the enzyme production. Immobilization of whole cells in absence of NaCl proved to be useful for continuous production of haloalkaliphilic protease. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STudy: The low cost protein rich flours were used as an alternative carbon and nitrogen sources for enzyme production. Immobilization of halophilic cells in alginate beads can be used in continuous production of halophilic enzyme. The halophilic and thermostable protease from Halogeometricum sp. TSS101 is good source for industrial applications and can be a suitable source for preparation of fish sauce.     

Production of tyrosinase by Auricularia auricula using low cost fermentation medium

Low cost fermentation media using agricultural by-products (wheat bran extract, rice bran extract and soybean meal extract) as a major nutrient source, were evaluated for the production of tyrosinase from the fungus Auricularia auricula in submerged culture. In single-factor experiments, three components (wheat bran extract, casein and CuSO₄) were chosen to further optimize medium composition using response surface methodology (RSM). The central composite experimental results showed the following optimum medium composition: wheat bran extract 36.0 %, casein 1.1 g/l and CuSO₄ 0.13 g/l. Under these conditions, the highest tyrosinase activity was 17.22 U/ml, which was 2.1 fold higher than that obtained using the non-optimized medium. The present study is the first to report the statistical optimization of medium composition for production of tyrosinase by A. auricula using cheaper wheat bran extract as a major nutrient source. These results might provide a reference for the development of a cost-effective medium for commercial production of tyrosinase.     

Glucoamylase production by solid-state fermentation using rice flake manufacturing waste products as substrate

Glucoamylase production has been investigated by solid-state fermentation of agro-industrial wastes generated during the processing of paddy to rice flakes (categorized as coarse, medium and fine waste), along with wheat bran and rice powder by a local soil isolate Aspergillus sp. HA-2. Highest enzyme production was obtained with wheat bran (264 +/- 0.64 U/gds) followed by coarse waste (211.5 +/- 1.44 U/gds) and medium waste (192.1 +/- 1.15 U/gds) using 10(6) spores/ml as inoculum at 28 +/- 2 degrees C, pH 5. A combination of wheat bran and coarse waste (1:1) gave enzyme yield as compared to wheat bran alone. Media supplementation with carbon source (0.04 g/gds) as sucrose in wheat bran and glucose in coarse and medium waste increased enzyme production to 271.2 +/- 0.92, 220.2 +/- 0.75 and 208.2 +/- 1.99 U/gds respectively. Organic nitrogen supplementation (yeast extract and peptone, 0.02 g/gds) showed a higher enzyme production compared to inorganic source. Optimum enzyme activity was observed at 55 degrees C, pH 5. Enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of calcium whereas presence of EDTA gave reverse effect.     

Improved production of alkaline protease from a mutant of alkalophilic Bacillus pantotheneticus using molasses as a substrate

An alkalophilic bacterial isolate identified as Bacillus pantotheneticus, isolated from saline-alkali soils of Avadh region of UP, India, was studied for the production of alkaline protease. The mutant of the isolated species showed 44% improved production over the parent strain. Organic nitrogen sources supported better protease production than the inorganic sources. The production of alkaline protease was (242 U/ml) in the medium containing molasses, which was comparable with molasses and wheat bran (285 U/ml) as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Protease production was best at pH 10 and temperature 30 degrees C. The Km (for casein) was 11 mg/ml and Vmax was 380-microg tyrosine/ml/min. The enzyme was stable between pH 7 and 10.7 and temperature between 30 and 60 degrees C with a pH and temperature optimum at 8.4 and 40 degrees C, respectively. The results indicated that molasses was an optimal substrate for alkaline protease production.     

Enhanced production and characterization of a highly thermostable alkaline protease from Bacillus sp. P-2

An obligatory alkalophilic Bacillus sp. P-2, which produced a thermostable alkaline protease was isolated by selective screening from water samples. Protease production at 30 °C in static conditions was highest (66 U/ml) when glucose (1% w/v) was used with combination of yeast extract and peptone (0.25% w/v, each), in the basal medium. Protease production by Bacillus sp. P-2 was suppressed up to 90% when inorganic nitrogen sources were supplemented in the production medium. Among the various agro-byproducts used in different growth systems (solid state, submerged fermentation and biphasic system), wheat bran was found to be the best in terms of maximum enhancement of protease yield as compared to rice bran and sunflower seed cake. The protease was optimally active at pH 9.6, retaining more than 80% of its activity in the pH range of 7–10. The optimum temperature for maximum protease activity was 90 °C. The enzyme was stable at 90 °C for more than 1h and retained 95 and 37% of its activity at 99 °C and 121 °C, respectively, after 1 h. The half-life of protease at 121 °C was 47 min.     

Potential of Aspergillus oryzae CFTRI 1480 for producing proteinase in high titres by solid state fermentation

Aspergillus oryzae CFTRI 1480, an isolate from a spoiled moist sample of casein, produced 59,105 units of an extracellular proteinase/g dry mouldy bran (DMB) at 72 h in an arbitrarily formulated wheat bran medium in a solid state fermentation system. The enzyme production was significantly affected by mineral salt content and pH of the liquid used for moistening the wheat bran. Enzyme titres were enhanced 1.34-fold with the addition of 0.4% corn starch. Optimization of key parameters, i.e., initial moisture content, age and size of inoculum, increased the enzyme production to 191,869 units/g DMB and reduced the fermentation time to 48 h. Such high titres in a simple medium, surpassing most of the literature reports, indicate the industrial importance of the culture. The properties of acetone-precipitated enzyme, viz, the optimum pH of 10.0, more than 95% activity between pH 7.0 and 10.0, temperature optimum at 55° C and more than 90% activity between 10 and 27°C, are similar to those of commercially available fungal proteinases employed in animal feed, leather and other industries.

Production of an extracellular alkaline metalloprotease from a newly isolated, moderately halophile, Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004

An extracellular protease was produced under stress conditions of high temperature and high salinity by a newly isolated moderate halophile, Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 in a basal medium containing peptone, beef extract, glucose and NaCl. A modification of Kunitz method was used for protease assay. The isolate was capable of producing protease in the presence of sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, potassium chloride, sodium acetate and sodium citrate. The maximum protease was secreted in the presence of 7.5 to 10% (w/v) sodium sulfate or 3% (w/v) sodium acetate (4.6 U ml⁻¹). Various carbon sources including glucose, lactose, casein and peptone were capable of inducing enzyme production. The optimum pH, temperature and aeration for enzyme production were 9.0, 32 °C and 220 rpm, respectively. The enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximum level during the mid-stationary phase. Maximum protease activity was exhibited in the medium containing 1% (w/v) NaCl at 60 °C, with 18% and 41% activity reductions at temperature 50 and 70 °C, respectively. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 8.5, with 86% and 75% residual activities at pH 10 and 6, respectively. The activity of enzyme was inhibited by EDTA. These results suggest that the protease secreted by Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 is industrially important from the perspectives of its activity at a broad pH ranges (5.0–10.0), its moderate thermoactivity in addition to its high tolerance to a wide range of salt concentration (0–10% NaCl).
