Thermostable saccharogenic amylase produced under submerged fermentation by filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum

چکیده
The effect of several nutritional and environmental parameters on Penicillium purpurogenum growth and sacharogenic amylase production was analyzed. High enzyme levels (68.2 U mg(-1)) were obtained with Khanna medium at initial pH 6.0, incubated at 30°C for 144 hours. The optimum pH and temperature activities were 5.0 and 65°C, respectively. The enzyme presented a half-life (t50) of 60 min, at 65°C. Only glucose was detected after 24 hours of reaction using soluble starch as substrate.

Properties of Two Novel Esterases Identified from Culture Supernatant of Penicillium purpurogenum Grown on Sugar Beet Pulp
BACKGROUND The filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum grows on a variety of natural carbon sources, such as sugar beet pulp, and secretes to the medium a large number of enzymes that degrade the carbohydrate components of lignocellulose. Sugar beet pulp is rich in pectin, and the purpose of this work is to identify novel esterases produced by the fungus, which may participate in pectin deg...
متن کاملDetermination of the effects of initial glucose on the production of α-amylase from Penicillium sp. under solid-state and submerged fermentation
The effects of catabolite repression of initial glucose on the synthesis of α-amylase from Penicillium chrysogenum and Penicillium griseofulvum were investigated under solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF) systems. The results obtained from either fermentation were compared with each other. In the SmF system, initial glucose concentration above 10 mg/mL completely repr...

The cDNA coding for Penicillium purpurogenum alpha-galactosidase (alphaGal) was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of the alpha-Gal cDNA showed that the mature enzyme consisted of 419 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 46,334 Da. The derived amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed similarity to eukaryotic alphaGals from plants, animals, yeasts, and filamentous fung...
متن کاملProduction of thermostable invertases by Aspergillus caespitosus under submerged or solid state fermentation using agroindustrial residues as carbon source
The filamentous fungus Aspergillus caespitosus was a good producer of intracellular and extracellular invertases under submerged (SbmF) or solid-state fermentation (SSF), using agroindustrial residues, such as wheat bran, as carbon source. The production of extracellular enzyme under SSF at 30°C, for 72h, was enhanced using SR salt solution (1:1, w/v) to humidify the substrate. The extracellula...
