Utilization of Egg Shell Waste in Cellulase Production by Neurospora crassa under Wheat Bran-Based Solid State Fermentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wide variety of waste resources are available on our planet. Egg shell waste is available in huge quantities from the food processing, egg breaking, and the hatching industries. Calcium plays a vital role in Neurospora crassa hyphal growth. Batch experiments have been performed using pure calcium salt as well as calcium in the form of pretreated egg shell waste in concentrations of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 g/l, under wheat branbased solid state fermentation by Neurospora crassa at 30oC with initial pH 6.0. The present paper describes the utility of wheat bran and egg shell waste in cellulase production. The utilization of economically cheap and abundantly available egg shell waste for cellulase production could be a novel and valuable approach in solid

Cellulase Production Under Solid-State Fermentation by Ethanolic Zygomycetes Fungi: Application of Response Surface Methodology
Background and Objectives: Cellulase is an important enzyme with multiple applications in industries, including food, laundry, pharmaceutical, textile, pulp, paper and biofuel industries. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a method for cellulase production, which includes several advantages, compared to submerged fermentation. In this study, cellulase was produced by three filamentous fungi, i.e...

The aim of the present work was focused on the cellulase production by Aspergillus niger using different substrates (i.e) rice bran, wheat bran, black gram bran, coconut oil cake, groundnut oil cake, and gingely oil cake. Solid state fermentation holds tremendous potentials for the production of the enzyme cellulase by Aspergillus niger. These agro industrial residues are cheap raw materials fo...
متن کاملBioconversion and Enzymatic Activities of Neurospora Sitophila Grown Under Solid State and Submerged Fermentation on Sago Hamps (RESEARCH NOTE)
N.sitophila was grown under controlled conditions of solid state and submerged fermentation on Sago hampas. The optimum conditions of protein enrichment previously established for sugar beet pulp was used for this study. Under this condition the protein content of Sago hampas under solid state increased from 1.4 to 14.45% (W/W) whereas for Sago hampas and Sago starch, the protein content under ...
متن کاملSolid state fermentation of agricultural wastes for endoglucanase production
The lignocellulosic biomass (especially agricultural wastes) is known to be an excellent carbon source for microbial enzyme production. In this paper, the cellulase production from lignocellulosic materials under solid state fermentation (SSF) was investigated. The effects of fermentation conditions, such as moisture content, initial pH, temperature, and composition of mixed substrate (wheat st...

Ganoderma lucidum is recognized as a powerful medicinal fungus because of its pharmacological effects and it is cultivated worldwide, using hardwood sawdust as a substrate in synthetic formulation. However, relative abundance of cereal straws such as wheat straw in an agricultural country like India could be exploited for commercial production of this mushroom. Therefore, solid state fermentati...
