Abstract Biocalorimetry can aid in the monitoring of solid-state fermentation (SSF) lignocelluloses and enables to determine fungal growth rates stages during on e. g. wheat straw. It further allows species-specific heat yield coefficients ( Y Q/X ), which indicate degree resource investment into biomass versus other functional attributes. values seem suitable link potentials for production dif...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable bioplastics of interest as potential substitutes petroleum-derived plastics that can be produced starting from lignocellulosic-derived residues. This study presents the combined solid-state enzymatic hydrolysis (SSEH) and fermentation (SSF) a sustainable approach for obtaining PHA using leftovers brewer's spent grain (BSG), grape pomace (GP) olive-m...

Solid state fermentation is currently used in a range of applications including classical applications, such as enzyme or antibiotic production, recently developed products, such as bioactive compounds and organic acids, new trends regarding bioethanol and biodiesel as sources of alternative energy, and biosurfactant molecules with environmental purposes of valorising unexploited biomass. This ...

A nutritional investigation was conducted to determine whether growth performance, feed efficiency and midgut morphology of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) is affected by United Kingdom cultivars Yellow Lupin (Control, Y) (LC) compared the addition a commercial solid-state fermentation product (SSF) in separate dietary treatments 0.1 0.5% (LS0.1 LS0.5, respectively). At end feeding trial,...

The present study was aimed at purification and characterization of α-amylase enzyme from strain of Aspergillus niger isolated from local soil samples. Solid state fermentation (SSF) was carried out to produce α-amylase from A. niger using waste banana peel as substrate. The maximum activity of α-amylase (11926 U/gds) was recorded after 72 hours of fermentation. The extracted enzyme was subject...

Production of extracellular α-amylase enzyme by a filamentous fungus, Alternaria tenuissima was studied in solid-state fermentation (SSF) as well as submerged fermentation (SmF). The potential strain was successfully mutated by UV and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). High-level of α-amylase activity was obtained by the mutant At-Ch-5.6 (76.75 Units mL) after chemical treatment followed by UV mutan...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out to produce α-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae (IFO 30103) using spent brewing grains (SBG) as substrate. A maximum of 11296 U/gds amylase activity was obtained after 48 h of fermentation. The extracted enzyme was subjected to partial purification by ammonium sulphate fractionation. Maximum specific activity was obtained with 40-70% fraction. SDS-PAG...

This study is focussed on the possibility of producing a yeast culture with yellow wine lees as a substrate by solid-state fermentation (SSF). Results showed that a yeast count of 1.58 × 109 CFU/g was achieved by signal factor and orthogonal experiments. After fermentation, the starch content in the yeast culture reduced from 32.2% ± 0.5% to 7.5% ± 0.2%, and the contents of crude protein and pe...

The suitability of protein and glucosamine measurements of cell components for biomass estimation of fungi Aspergillus niger S,4, a mangrove isolate, and Aspergillus oryzae NCIM 1212 was evaluated using wheat bran as substrate in solid-state fermentation (SSF). Both direct as well as indirect methods were used. The protein and glucosamine contents and direct weight of the fungi were determined ...

Rhizopus oligosporus was used in the present study for the production of protease enzyme under SSF. Sunflower meal was used as by-product of oil industry incorporated with organic salts was employed for the production of protease enzyme. The main purpose of the present was to study different parameters of protease productivity, its yields and to optimize basal fermentation conditions. The optim...
