Evaluation of alpha-galactosidase biosynthesis by Streptomyces griseoloalbus in solid-state fermentation using response surface methodology

Aim: The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of the three crucial factors, galactose concentration, inoculum size and moisture content, on α‐galactosidase production by the filamentous actinobacterium Streptomyces griseoloalbus in solid‐state fermentation. Methods and Results: Central Composite design was adopted to derive a statistical model for the optimization of fermentation conditions. Maximum α‐galactosidase yield (117 U g^–1 of dry fermented substrate) was obtained when soya bean flour supplemented with 1·5% galactose and with initial moisture content of 40% was inoculated with 1·9 × 10⁶ CFU g^?1 initial dry substrate. Conclusions: The model was valid and could result in considerably enhanced enzyme yield. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results indicated a cost effective method for the production of α‐galactosidase using soya bean flour. This is the first report on exploitation of the potential of filamentous bacterium for the production of α‐galactosidase, an enzyme having versatile applications.

Response surface methodology for optimizing the fermentation medium of alpha-galactosidase in solid-state fermentation

AIMS: Alpha-galactosidase is applied in food and feed industries for hydrolysing raffinose series oligosaccharides (RO) that are the factors primarily responsible for flatulence upon ingestion of soybean-derived products. The objective of the current work was to develop an optimal culture medium for the production of alpha-galactosidase in solid-state fermentation (SSF) by a mutant strain Aspergillus foetidus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the effects of variables, namely the concentrations of wheat bran, soybean meal, KH(2)PO(4), MnSO(4).H(2)O and CuSO(4).5H(2)O on alpha-galactosidase production in the solid substrate. A fractional factorial design (FFD) was firstly used to isolate the main factors that affected the production of alpha-galactosidase and the central composite experimental design (CCD) was then adopted to derive a statistical model for optimizing the composition of the fermentation medium. The experimental results showed that the optimum fermentation medium for alpha-galactosidase production by Aspergillus foetidus ZU-G1 was composed of 8.2137 g wheat bran, 1.7843 g soybean meal, 0.001 g MnSO(4).H(2)O and 0.001 g CuSO(4).5H(2)O in 10 g dry matter fermentation medium. CONCLUSIONS: After incubating 96 h in the optimum fermentation medium, alpha-galactosidase activity was predicted to be 2210.76 U g(-1) dry matter in 250 ml shake flask. In the present study, alpha-galactosidase activity reached 2207.19 U g(-1) dry matter. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Optimization of the solid substrate was a very important measure to increase enzyme activity and realize industrial production of alpha-galactosidase. The process of alpha-galactosidase production in laboratory scale may have the potential to scale-up.     

Effect of several elicitors on sclerotia biomass and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95 during solid-state fermentation of corn meal

Six kinds of heat-released soluble cell-wall fragments (elicitors) were prepared respectively from Neurospora crassa, Monascus purpureus, Sporobolomyces roseus, Rhodotorula rubra, Nocardia corallina N89 and Actinoplanes tuftoflagellus A05. When Penicillium sp. PT95 was grown on corn meal (CM) solid medium containing appropriate amounts of elicitors, both its sclerotia biomass and the amount of carotenoid accumulated in sclerotia were enhanced significantly (P < 0.01). Every one of the elicitors except that fromM. purpureus could also increase significantly the β-carotene fraction of total pigment (P < 0.01). Among elicitors tested, the elicitor (150 μg/g CM) originating from R. rubra gave a maximum value of sclerotia biomass, reaching 15.90 g/100g CM; the elicitor (100 μg/g CM) from M. purpureus gave the highest total carotenoid of 14,446 μg/100 g CM and β-carotene yield of 10,112 μg/100 g CM, which were respectively 2.76 and 2.72 times higher than that of control. Experimental results also showed that the elicitor from M. purpureus could inhibit effectively the occurrence of sectoring during solid-state fermentation of strain PT95.

Using corn meal as fermentation substrate, the effect of some factors, fermentation time and supplementation of saccharide and nitrogen sources as well as vegetable oil, on the sclerotia growth and carotenoid production of Penicillium sp PT95 during solid state fermentation were studied. When PT95 strain was grown on the amended medium by supplementing of 3g NaNO3, 10g maltose and 2.5g soybean oil per liter of salt solution to basal medium for 20 days, the dry sclerotia weight and carotenoid yield reached 9.70 g and 5260 g / 100 g of substrate, respectively. Without supplementation only 5.36g dry sclerotia and 2149g carotenoid / 100 g of substrate was attained. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998

Limitations of membrane cultures as a model solid-state fermentation system

AIMS: To examine the reliability of membrane cultures as a model solid-state fermentation (SSF) system. METHODS AND RESULTS: In overcultures of Aspergillus oryzae on sterilized wheat flour discs overlaid with a polycarbonate membrane, we demonstrated that the presence of membrane filters reduced the maximum respiration rate (up to 50%), and biomass and alpha-amylase production. We also show that the advantage of membrane cultures, i.e. total recovery of biomass, is not very evident for the system used, while the changes in metabolism and kinetics are serious drawbacks. CONCLUSIONS: The use of membrane cultures is artificial and without substantial benefits and therefore has to be carefully considered. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: In future studies on kinetics and stoichiometry of SSF, one should not completely rely on experiments using membrane cultures as a model SSF system.

Selection of a strain of Aspergillus for the production of citric acid from pineapple waste in solid-state fermentation

Aspergillus foetidus ACM 3996 (=FRR 3558) and three strains of Aspergillus niger ACM 4992 (=ATCC 9142), ACM 4993 (=ATCC 10577), ACM 4994 (=ATCC 12846) were compared for the production of citric acid from pineapple peel in solid-state fermentation. A. niger ACM 4992 produced the highest amount of citric acid, with a yield of 19.4g of citric acid per 100g of dry fermented pineapple waste under optimum conditions, representing a yield of 0.74g citric acid/g sugar consumed. Optimal conditions were 65% (w/w) initial moisture content, 3% (v/w) methanol, 30°C, an unadjusted initial pH of 3.4, a particle size of 2mm and 5ppm Fe²⁺. Citric acid production was best in flasks, with lower yields being obtained in tray and rotating drum bioreactors.

Streptomyces sp. TEM 33 possesses high lipolytic activity in solid-state fermentation in comparison with submerged fermentation

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a bioprocess that doesn’t need an excess of free water, and it offers potential benefits for microbial cultivation for bioprocesses and product development. In comparing the antibiotic production, few detailed reports could be found with lipolytic enzyme production by Streptomycetes in SSF. Taking this knowledge into consideration, we prefer to purify Actinomycetes species as a new source for lipase production. The lipase-producing strain Streptomyces sp. TEM 33 was isolated from soil and lipase production was managed by solid-state fermentation (SSF) in comparison with submerged fermentation (SmF). Bioprocess-affecting factors like initial moisture content, incubation time, and various carbon and nitrogen additives and the other enzymes secreted into the media were optimized. Lipase activity was measured as 1.74 ± 0.0005 U/g dry substrate (gds) by the p-nitrophenylpalmitate (pNPP) method on day 6 of fermentation with 71.43% final substrate moisture content. In order to understand the metabolic priority in SSF, cellulase and xylanase activity of Streptomyces sp. TEM33 was also measured. The microorganism degrades the wheat bran to its usable form by excreting cellulases and xylanases; then it secretes the lipase that is necessary for degrading the oil in the medium.
