Production of Extracellular Lipase from Aspergillus niger by Solid-State Fermentation

Abstract

Proizvodnja lipaze u soju plijesni Aspergillus niger J-1 ispitana je submerznim uzgojem i površinskim uzgojem na čvrstoj podlozi od pšeničnih posija. Provedeno je optimiranje podloge za oba postupka uzgoja. Maksimalna aktivnost lipaze od 1,46 IU/mL postignuta je submerznim uzgojem u podlozi s 2 % glukoze i 2 % maslinova ulja pri 1 vvm i 450 m-1. Medutim, 9,14 IU/g suhe tvari ekvivalentne 4,8 IU/mL aktivnosti lipaze postignuto je površinskim uzgojem na čvrstoj podlozi s 0,75 % amonijeva sulfata i 0,34 % uree. Optimalni pH i temperatura za aktivnost enzima bili su pH=6 i 40 °C. Enzim je pokazao 80 % od početne aktivnosti u neutralnom i blago kiselom mediju i pri temperaturi od 20 i 30 °C tijekom 24 sata.Lipase production in Aspergillus niger J-1 was tested using both submerged fermentation (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) on a mineral culture medium and wheat bran, respectively. The optimization of the culture medium was carried out for both SmF and SSF. The maximum lipase activity, 1.46 IU/mL, was obtained during the submerged fermentation in a medium containing glucose at 2 % and olive oil at 2 % under conditions of 1 vvm and 450 m–1. However, 9.14 IU/g of dry solid substrate equivalent to 4.8 IU/mL of lipase activity was reached using solid-state fermentation process with a medium containing 0.75 % of ammonium sulphate and 0.34 % of urea. The optimum pH and temperature for enzymatic activity were pH=6 and 40 °C, respectively. The enzyme also exhibited 80 % of its initial activity in neutral and mildly acid media and at temperatures between 20 and 30 °C for a period of 24 hours
