Catalytical Properties of Free and Immobilized Aspergillus niger Tannase

Catalytical Properties of Free and Immobilized Aspergillus niger Tannase

A fungal tannase was produced, recovered, and immobilized by entrapment in calcium alginate beads. Catalytical properties of the immobilized enzyme were compared with those of the free one. Tannase was produced intracellularly by the xerophilic fungus Aspergillus niger GH1 in a submerged fermentation system. Enzyme was recovered by cell disruption and the crude extract was partially purified. T...

A novel tannase from Aspergillus niger with beta-glucosidase activity.

An extracellular tannase was produced from solid-state cultures of Aspergillus niger. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the cell-free culture broth by preparative isoelectric focusing and by FPLC using anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis as well as gel localization studies of purified tannase indicated the presence of two enzyme forms, with molecular ma...

Some factors affecting tannase production by Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem

One variable at a time procedure was used to evaluate the effect of qualitative variables on the production of tannase from Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem. These variables including: fermentation technique, agitation condition, tannins source, adding carbohydrates incorporation with tannic acid, nitrogen source type and divalent cations. Submerged fermentation under intermittent shaking gave the...

Characterization and Catalytic Activity of Free and Immobilized Lipase from Aspergillus niger: a Comparative Study

Lipase de Aspergillus niger foi imobilizada por deposição utilizando Celite e as atividades de hidrólise e esterificação, a estabilidade e a enantioseletividade das formas livre e imobilizada foram comparadas. Ambas as preparações mostraram propriedades bioquímicas similares, com atividade máxima em pH 6,0 e temperatura de 30-40 C. Não foram observadas diferenças na atividade hidrolítica em fun...
