Solid Fungi Starters Using Aspergillus spp. under Different Manufacturing Conditions

THE PRODUCTION OF GLUCOAMYLASE BY ASPERGILLUS NIGER UNDER SOLID STATE CONDITIONS (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this study, Glucoamylase production by Aspergillus Niger was investigated under solid state conditions with low cost by-products of agricultural processes as substrate. Highest enzyme production was observed when a combination of wheat bran (WB) and corn flour (CF) was used as compared to WB+ rice bran, WB+ rice flour and WB alone. Different additions of (CF) were tested and WB+ 10% CF showe...

Spore germination of fungi belonging to Aspergillus species under deep-sea conditions

Xylanase Production under Solid State Fermentation by Aspergillus niger

 Central composite orthogonal design was applied to quantify relations  of xylanase production, loss of dry matter and change of pH with four critical variables during solid state fermentation of a mixture of wheat bran and wheat straw on which Aspergillus niger CCUG 33991 was cultivated. The studied variables included the percentage of wheat straw, temperature, moisture content, and fermentati...

Xylanase production by Aspergillus awamori under solid state fermentation conditions on tomato pomace

In this work, tomato pomace, a waste abundantly available in the Mediterranean and other temperate climates agro-food industries, has been used as raw material for the production of some hydrolytic enzymes, including xylanase, exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PG), cellulase (CMCase) and α-amylase. The principal step of the process is the solid state fermentation (SSF) of this residue by Aspergillus a...

Role of brown-rot fungi in the bioremoval of azo dyes under different conditions

The present study is vital to the understanding of bioremediation of structurally different azo dyes by some unusual Brown-rot fungi. Bioremoval of each dye (20 mg l(-1)) was tested in two different culture media under static and shaking conditions by taking inocula from different fungi. Fungal strains showed varying dyes removal abilities, though considerable high in case of Acid Red (AR) 151(...
