The utilization of food waste by microorganisms to produce omega-3 fatty acids or biofuel is a potentially low cost method with positive environmental benefits. In the present study, the marine microorganisms Thraustochytrium sp. AH-2 and Schizochytrium sp. SR21 were used to evaluate the potential of breadcrumbs as an alternate carbon source for the production of lipids under static fermentatio...

Enzyme production varies in different fermentation systems. Enzyme expression in different fermentation systems yields important information for improving our understanding of enzymatic production induction. Comparative studies between solid-state fermentation (SSF) using agro-industrial waste wheat bran and submerged fermentation (SmF) using synthetic media were carried out to determinate the ...

This work mainly focus on factors relevant for improvement of enzyme hydrolysis by using Rhizopus oryzae MTCC 9642 in submerged fermentation. Several cultural conditions were examined to access their effect in optimizing enzyme production. The Rhizopus oryzae PR7 MTCC 9642 showed best growth at 28°C within a broad pH range of 6.0 to 10.0 with an optimal temperature and pH of isoamylase synthesi...

An attempt is made in the present study to optimize the cultural conditions for the production of L-asparaginase by Fusarium oxysporum using submerged fermentation. Different fungal species were isolated and identified using standard manuals, screened initially for the production of extracellular L-asparaginase during their growth on Czapek’s Dox medium containing Lasparagine as sole source of ...

Citric acid is the most important organic produced in tonnage and extensively used food pharmaceutical industries. It mainly by submerged fermentation using Aspergillus niger or Candida sp. from different sources of carbohydrates, such as molasses starch-based media. In view surges demand growing markets, there always a need for discovery development better production techniques solutions to im...

Lipases are enzymes used in various industrial sectors such as food, pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis industries. The selection of microorganisms isolated from soil or wastewater is an alternative to the discovery of new species with high enzymes productivity and with different catalytic activities. In this study, the selection of lipolytic fungi was carried out by submerged fermentation. ...

Streptomyces sp. (strain SS12) was isolated from terrestrial soil of western U.P., India and found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Optimization of physical and chemical parameters for antibiotic production in submerged fermentation resulted in 1.75 fold increase in production level in terms of inhibition zone diameter. The bioactive compound was ...

The effect of supplementation of medium with rapeseed meal (RM) on production of biotechnologically important enzymes was investigated in submerged cultures of the white rot fungus Cerrena unicolor. The addition of RM (3.5% w/v) distinctly stimulated the activities of laccase, chitinase, and β-glucosidase. As compared to the control, the activities of chitinase, β-glucosidase, and laccase in th...
