Phytase production by solid-state fermentation of groundnut oil cake by Aspergillus niger: A bioprocess optimization study for animal feedstock applications

This investigation deals with the use of agro-industrial waste, namely groundnut oil cake (GOC), for phytase production by the fungi Aspergillus niger NCIM 563. Plackett–Burman design (PBD) was used to evaluate the effect of 11 process variables and studies here showed that phytase production was significantly influenced by glucose, dextrin, distilled water, and MgSO₄ · 7H₂O. The use of response surface methodology (RSM) by Box–Behnken design (BBD) of experiments further enhanced the production by a remarkable 36.67-fold from the original finding of 15 IU/gds (grams of dry substrate) to 550 IU/gds. This is the highest solid-state fermentation (SSF) phytase production reported when compared to other microorganisms and in fact betters the best known by a factor of 2. Experiments carried out using dried fermented koji for phosphorus and mineral release and also thermal stability have shown the phytase to be as efficient as the liquid enzyme extract. Also, the enzyme, while exhibiting optimal activity under acidic conditions, was found to have significant activity in a broad range of pH values (1.5–6.5). The studies suggest the suitability of the koji supplemented with phytase produced in an SSF process by the “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS) microorganism A. niger as a cost-effective value-added livestock feed when compared to that obtained by submerged fermentation (SmF).

Citric and gluconic acid production from fig by Aspergillus niger using solid-state fermentation

The production of citric and gluconic acids from fig by Aspergillus niger ATCC 10577 in solid-state fermentation was investigated. The maximal citric and gluconic acids concentration (64 and 490 g/kg dry figs, respectively), citric acid yield (8%), and gluconic acid yield (63%) were obtained at a moisture level of 75%, initial pH 7.0, temperature 30°C, and fermentation time in 15 days. However, the highest biomass dry weight (40 g/kg wet substrate) and sugar utilization (90%) were obtained in cultures grown at 35°C. The addition of 6% (w/w) methanol into substrate increased the concentration of citric and gluconic acid from 64 and 490 to 96 and 685 g/kg dry fig, respectively.

Improved xylanase production using apple pomace waste by Aspergillus niger in koji fermentation

Xylanase production by Aspergillus niger NRRL‐567 in solid‐state fermentation (koji fermentation) was optimized using 2⁴ factorial design and response surface methodology. The evaluated variables were the initial moisture level and concentration of inducers [veratryl alcohol (VA), copper sulphate (CS), and lactose (LAC)], leading to the response of xylanase production. Initial moisture level and LAC were found to be the most significant variable for xylanase production (p<0.05). The highest xylanase production was observed with 3578.8 ± 65.3 IU/gds (gram dry substrate) under optimal conditions using initial moisture of 85% (v/w), pH 5.0 and inducers VA (2 mM/kg), LAC 2% (w/w), and CS (1.5 mM/kg) after 48 h of incubation time. Higher xylanase activity of 3952 ± 78.3 IU/gds was attained during scale‐up of the process in solid‐state tray fermentation under optimum conditions after 72 h of incubation time. The present study demonstrates that A. niger NRRL‐567 can efficiently be used to achieve xylanase production with an economical and environmental benefit in solid‐state tray fermentation. The developed process can be used to develop an effective process for commercially feasible bioproduction of xylanases for speciality applications, such as conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and other value‐added products.     

Citric acid production by Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142 from a treated ethanol fermentation co-product using solid-state fermentation

Aims:  To investigate the ability of the citric acid-producing strain Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142 to utilize the ethanol fermentation co-product corn distillers dried grains with solubles for citric acid production following various treatments.
Methods and Results:  The ability of A. niger ATCC 9142 to produce citric acid and biomass on the grains was examined using an enzyme assay and a gravimetric method, respectively. Fungal citric acid production after 240 h was higher on untreated grains than on autoclaved grains or acid-hydrolysed grains. Fungal biomass production was enhanced after autoclaving and acid-hydrolysis of the grains. Phosphate supplementation to the grains slightly stimulated citric acid production while methanol addition decreased its synthesis. Using the phosphate-supplemented grains, the optimal incubation temperature, initial moisture content of the grains and the length of fermentation time for ATCC 9142 citric acid production were determined to be 25°C, 82% and 240 h, respectively.
Conclusions:  A. niger ATCC 9142 synthesized citric acid on corn distillers dried grains with solubles. The phosphate-treated grains increased citric acid production by the strain.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The ethanol fermentation co-product corn distillers dried grains with solubles could be useful commercially as a substrate for A. niger citric acid production.     

Bioconversion of grape must into modulated gluconic acid production by Aspergillus niger ORS-4.410

AIMS: Analysis of regulators for modulated gluconic acid production under surface fermentation (SF) condition using grape must as the cheap carbohydrate source, by mutant Aspergillus niger ORS-4.410. Replacement of conventional fermentation condition by solid-state surface fermentation (SSF) for semi-continuous production of gluconic acid by pseudo-immobilization of A. niger ORS-4.410. METHODS AND RESULTS: Grape must after rectification was utilized for gluconic acid production in batch fermentation in SF and SSF processes using mutant strain of A. niger ORS-4.410. Use of rectified grape must led to the improved levels of gluconic acid production (80-85 g l(-1)) in the fermentation medium containing 0.075% (NH4)2HPO4; 0.1% KH2PO4 and 0.015% MgSO4.7H2O at an initial pH 6.6 (+/-0.1) under surface fermentation. Gluconic acid production was modulated by incorporating the 2% soybean oil, 2% starch and 1% H2O2 in fermentation medium at continuously high aeration rate (2.0 l min(-1)). Interestingly, 95.8% yield of gluconic acid was obtained when A. niger ORS-4.410 was pseudo-immobilized on cellulose fibres (bagasse) under SSF. Four consecutive fermentation cycles were achieved with a conversion rate of 0.752-0.804 g g(-1) of substrate into gluconic acid under SSF. CONCLUSIONS: Use of additives modulated the gluconic acid production under SF condition. Semi-continuous production of gluconic acid was achieved with pseudo-immobilized mycelia of A. niger ORS-4.410 having a promising yield (95.8%) under SSF condition. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The bioconversion of grape must into modulated gluconic acid production under SSF conditions can further be employed in fermentation industries by replacing the conventional carbohydrate sources and expensive, energy consuming fermentation processes.     

Optimization of Ellagitannase Production by Aspergillus niger GH1 by Solid-State Fermentation

Ellagic acid is one of the most bioactive antioxidants with important applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. However, there are few biotechnological processes developed for its production, because it requires precursors (ellagitannins) and the corresponding biocatalyst (ellagitannase). The aim of this study was to optimize the culture conditions for ellagitannase production by Aspergillus niger in solid-state fermentation (SSF). The bioprocess was carried out into a column bioreactor packed with polyurethane foam impregnated with an ellagitannins solution as carbon source. Four strains of Aspergillus niger (PSH, GH1, HT4, and HC2) were evaluated for ellagitannase production. The study was performed in two experimental steps. A Plackett–Burman design was used to determine the influencing parameters on ellagitannase production. Ellagitannins concentration, KCl, and MgSO₄ were determined to be the most significant parameters. Box–Behnken design was used to define the interaction of the selected parameters. The highest enzyme value was obtained by A. niger PSH at concentrations of 7.5 g/L ellagitannins, 3.04 g/L KCl, and 0.76 g/L MgSO₄. The methodology followed here allowed increasing the ellagitannase activity 10 times over other researcher results (938.8 U/g ellagitannins). These results are significantly higher than those reported previously and represent an important contribution for the establishment of a new bioprocess for ellagic acid and ellagitannase production.
