Abstract: | The optimization of process parameters for high inulinase production by the marine yeast strain Cryptococcus aureus G7a in solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out using central composite design (CCD), one of the response surface methodologies
(RSMs). We found that moisture, inoculation size, the amount ratio of wheat bran to rice husk, temperature and pH had great
influence on inulinase production by strain G7a. Therefore, the CCD was used to evaluate the influence of the five factors
on the inulinase production by strain G7a. Then, five levels of the five factors above were further optimized using the CCD.
Finally, the optimal parameters obtained with the RSM were the initial moisture 61.5%, inoculum 2.75%, the amount ratio of
wheat bran to rice husk 0.42, temperature 29 °C, pH 5.5. Under the optimized conditions, 420.9 U g−1 of dry substrate of inulinase activity was reached in the solid-state fermentation culture of strain G7a within 120 h whereas
the predicted maximum inulinase activity of 436.2 U g−1 of inulinase activity of 436.2 U g−1 of dry weight was derived from the RSM regression. This is the highest inulinase activity produced by the yeast strain reported
so far. A large amount of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides were detected after inulin hydrolysis by the crude inulinase. |
