Influence of the mycelium growth conditions on the production of amylolytic,proteolytic and pectinolytic enzymes by Aspergillus niger C

Various nitrogen and carbon sources, as well as natural products, were examined as inducers of the production of amylases, proteases and pectinases by A. niger C. A. niger C grown on wheat bran extract medium provided culture supernatants with the highest enzymatic activities. Some culture conditions, e.g. pH, medium temperature and time period of cultivation, were optimalized to improve the growth and enzymes biosynthesis by A. niger C.
