Influence of Medium Composition and pH on the Production of Polygalacturonases by Aspergillus oryzae
نویسندگان
چکیده
A liquid medium containing wheat bran, salts and a source of inducer (pectin) was found to be suitable for the production of exoand endo-polygalacturonases by Aspergillus oryzae CCT3940. Induction of polygalacturonases by purified pectin was significantly higher than when rinds of citrus fruits were used as inducer. A. oryzae growth was favoured by pH close to 4, although a drop of pH to around 3 was needed for enzymes production. Afterwards, decreasing activities were observed with the normal increase in pH to near neutrality. The highest activities were achieved with an initial pH of 4 and controlled when it decreased to a value slightly below 3 (159 units endoPG.mL at 83 h and 45 units exo-PG.mL at 64 h), being the loss in polygalacturonases activities strongly reduced at this condition. The best values of pH and temperature for the action of exo-PG (4.5/57oC) and endo-PG (4.3/40oC) were assessed.

Amylase production from Aspergillus oryzae LS1 by solid-state fermentation and its use for the hydrolysis of wheat flour
Nine Aspergillus and three of Trichoderma strains were grown on wheat bran (WB) medium under solid state fermentation (SSF) for amylase production. Aspergillus oryzae LS1 produced the highest level of the enzyme. The thermal stability profile of its crude enzyme revealed the half-life time of more than 2 h at 50 and 60ºC. The enzyme production was affected by strain type, incubation periods, le...

Different compositions of liquid media were used for their efficacy in the production of beta-galactosidase by Aspergillus oryzae in submerged fermentation. Enzyme production was improved by switching from lactose-based media to soybean meal- and wheat bran-based media. Further improvement was made when the soybean meal medium was supplemented with sodium nitrate and magnesium sulfate. Res...
متن کاملAlpha Amylase Production by Aspergillus Oryzae Using Solid State Fermentation
A fungal strain of Aspergillus oryzae was used for the production of alpha amylase by solid state fermentation from agro-industrial waste. Enzyme production was growth associated and maximum activity (8.23 U/ml) were obtained after 120h when incubated at 30°C on wheat bran with initial moisture content 60%; initial medium pH = 5 . Enzyme activity increased when the solid medium was supplemented...
متن کاملPectin methyl esterase from Aspergillus aculeatus: expression cloning in yeast and characterization of the recombinant enzyme.
Seventeen full-length cDNAs encoding pectin methyl esterase I (PME I) have been isolated from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus aculeatus by expression cloning in yeast. Yeast colonies expressing functional PME I were identified on agar plates containing highly esterified pectin, and a cDNA encoding PME I was isolated. The deduced amino acid sequence of PME I is highly similar (74% identity) t...
متن کاملProduction of amylase in liquid culture by a strain of Aspergillus oryzae.
The effect of different media and pH on the formation of amylase by Aspergillus oryzae EI 212 is described. Depending upon the composition of the medium and growth conditions, the fungus was found to secrete alpha- or beta-amylase, or both. Some of the properties of the partially purified alpha-amylase were found to be different from alpha-amylases from other sources.
