  • Comparison of phytase production on wheat bran and oilcakes in solid-state fermentation by Mucor racemosus.

    Co-Authors: Krishnan Roopesh, George Szakacs, Sumitra Ramachandran, K. Madhavan Nampoothiri, Ashok Pandey
    Abstract:

    Comparisons were made for phytase production using wheat bran (WB) and oilcakes as substrates in solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Mucor racemosus NRRL 1994. WB was also used as mixed substrate with oil cakes. Sesame oil cake (SOC) served as the best carbon source for phytase synthesis by the fungal strain as it gave the highest enzyme titres (30.6 U/gds). Groundnut oil cake (GOC) also produced a reasonably good quantity of enzyme (24.3 U/gds). Enzyme production on WB was surprisingly much less (almost 3.5 times less in comparison to SOC). Mixing WB with SOC (1:1 ratio) resulted in better phytase activity (32.2 U/gds). Optimization of various process parameters such as incubation time, initial moisture content and inoculum concentration was carried out using the single variable mode optimization technique. Under optimized conditions, the production of phytase reached 44.5 U/gds, which was almost 1.5-fold higher than the highest yield obtained with any individual substrate used in this study and was more than 4-fold higher than that obtained from WB.

  • Production of phytase by Mucor racemosus in solid-state fermentation.

    Abstract:

    Phytase production was studied by three Mucor and eight Rhizopus strains by solid-state fermentation (SSF) on three commonly used natural feed ingredients (canola meal, coconut oil cake, wheat bran). Mucor racemosus NRRL 1994 (ATCC 46129) gave the highest yield (14.5 IU/g dry matter phytase activity) on coconut oil cake. Optimizing the supplementation of coconut oil cake with glucose, casein and (NH(4))(2)SO(4), phytase production in solid-state fermentation was increased to 26 IU/g dry matter (DM). Optimization was carried out by Plackett-Burman and central composite experimental designs. Using the optimized medium phytase, alpha-amylase and lipase production of Mucor racemosus NRRL 1994 was compared in solid-state fermentation and in shake flask (SF) fermentation. SSF yielded higher phytase activity than did SF based on mass of initial substrate. Because this particular isolate is a food-grade fungus that has been used for sufu fermentation in China, the whole SSF material (crude enzyme, in situ enzyme) may be used directly in animal feed rations with enhanced cost efficiency.
