Alkaline protease secreted by Conidiobolus coronatus has been evaluated extensively in tanneries and finds application in pre-tanning operations in leather manufacture. It is important to produce the enzyme in inexpensive and optimized media on large scale for the process to be commercially viable. The present paper describes optimization of fermentation conditions in shake flasks and scale up of production to 100 L in fermentors. The production is complete in 2-3 days comparable to bacterial fermentations. The organism utilized several carbon sources such as starch, sucrose, lactose, glucose and fructose for production. Soyabean meal at an optimum concentration of 2-3\% was found to be best inducer. Diammonium hydrogen phosphate, casamino acids and Hi-media peptone gave activities comparable to yeast extract. Preservation and stabilization studies showed that glycerol conferred considerable stabilization at room temperature while ammonium sulphate precipitated enzyme at 0.9 saturation was best with stability up to 2 years even at room temperature.

Sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) is a fruit tree of economic importance in Taiwan, with the fruit primarily consumed fresh. Overproduction in recent years, coupled with short shelf life and other practical issues, make practical the research into uses for sugar apples in formats other than fresh. This study presents an exploration of lactic-fermented sugar apple products. The product has a unique sweet aroma and a test panel found its texture to be appealing. For this study, sugar apple puree was used as the substrate for fermentation using mixed starters in a ratio 1:1 or 1:1:1. The high total soluble solid nature (20.5 +/- 4.33 degrees Brix) of sugar apple puree as compared to that of mixed fruit juice (lower than 10 Brix) indicates its potential to be used in fermentation. Following fermentation, the properties and effects of different starter inoculations were recorded and discussed. Fermentation achieved a pH value of 3.8 after 60 hr. The performance of fermented product in the DPPH (alpha,alpha-diphenyl-beta- picrylhydrazyl) decreased from 92\% to 78\% after 48 hr, followed by a stationary state. Fermented sugar apple puree and fresh sugar apple juice blended in a ratio of 2:8 delivered the highest DPPH scavenging efficiency (88\%) and iron chelating ability (49\%). The relatively high values of these properties offer the potential for sugar apple juice to be further developed as a novel functional food. Such a development would surely help to ease recent overproduction problems.

A Lactobacillus strain was isolated from the fermented Eleusine coracana. This strain was characterized as Lactobacillus plantarum and was found to produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) in quantitative amounts. The objective of the present paper is to determine optimum media composition and inoculum volume for the stated fermentative production of the EPS. A hybrid methodology comprising the Plackett-Burman (PB) design method, artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA) was utilized. Specifically, the PB, ANN and GA forrnalisms were used for identifying influential media components, modeling non-linear process and optimizing the process, respectively. More specifically, the PB method was used to determine those media components, which significantly influence the EPS yield. By ignoring the less influential media components, the dimensionality of the input space of the process model could be reduced significantly. Out of the five media components only three were found influential namely, lactose, casein hydrolysate and triammonium citrate. Next, an ANN-based process model was developed for approximating the non-linear relationship between the fermentation operating variables and the EPS yield. The average \% error and correlation coefficient for the developed ANN model were 4.8 and 0.999, respectively. The input parameters of ANN model were subsequently optimized using the GA formalism for obtaining maximum EPS yield in batch fermentation. The optimized media composition has predicted the yield of 7.01 g/l. The GA-optimized solution comprising media composition and inoculum volume was verified experimentally and it comes out be 7.14 g/l. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Xylanases are an industrially important class of hydrolytic enzymes that degrade xylans. Production of xylanase from a fungal culture by submerged fermentation and optimization of the operating conditions for maximum activity are the two aims of the present study. Penicillium janthinellum NCIM 1169 with Mandels-Weber medium, sugarcane bagassse (40\#) as a carbon source and beef extract as a nitrogen source were used in the experiments. We did 41 experiments to see the effect of variations in carbon, nitrogen source, pH, and inoculum on xylanase activity. This data was then used to build an input/output model using multiple linear regression, back propagation neural network and lazy learning algorithm. It was found that lazy learning model correlated well in mapping input/output data. This model was then utilized as an objective function in genetic algorithm to find the optimal combination of the operating conditions to get the maximum xylanase activity. It was observed that with carbon source, 1.63\%, nitrogen source, 0.16\%, pH, 4.1, and inoculum, 5.5\%, maximum xylanase activity of 28.98 +/- 1.73 U/ml was achieved. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

A thermophilic microorganism growing within the temperature range of 40-65 A degrees C (optimum at 55 A degrees C) was isolated from hot water springs near Konkan, Maharashtra, India. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, it was concluded that the isolate belongs to the genus Brevibacillus. The present paper reports the isolation, identification, and standardization of fermentation conditions for the production of enzyme, bile salt hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.24) which is produced intracellularly at high temperatures. This is the first report regarding the production of bile salt hydrolase from a thermophilic source. Optimization of fermentation conditions resulted in a 2.9-fold enhancement in enzyme production.

Mutants of Gibberella fujikuroi with different colony characteristics, morphology and pigmentation were generated by exposure to UV radiation. A mutant, Mor-189, was selected based on its short filament length, relatively high gibberellin A(4) (GA(4)) and gibberellin A(3) (GA(3)) production, as well as its lack of pigmentation. Production of GA(4) by Mor-189 was studied using different inorganic and organic nitrogen sources, carbon sources and by maintaining the pH of the fermentation medium using calcium carbonate. Analysis of GA(4) and GA(3) was done by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and LC-MS. The mutants of G. fujikuroi produced more GA(4) when the pH of the medium was maintained above 5. During shake flask studies, the mutant Mor-189 produced 210 mg l(-1) GA(4) in media containing wheat gluten as the nitrogen source and glucose as the carbon source. Fed-batch fermentation in a 14 l agitated fermenter was performed to evaluate the applicability of the mutant Mor-189 for the production of GA(4). In 7-day fed-batch fermentation, 600 mg l(-1) GA(4) were obtained in the culture filtrate. The concentration of GA(4) and GA(3) combined was 713 mg l(-1), of which GA(4) accounted for 84\% of the total gibberellin. These values are substantially higher than those published previously. The present study indicated that, along with maintenance of pH and controlled glucose feeding, the use of wheat gluten as the sole nitrogen source considerably enhances GA(4) production by the mutant Mor-189.

The present paper reports the screening, isolation, identification, and optimization of fermentation conditions for the production of lipase (EC 3.1.1.3). Culture conditions were optimized, and the highest lipase production was observed in basal medium with corn steep liquor as nitrogen source and glucose as carbon source.

Mutants of Candida magnoliae NCIM 3470 were generated by ultra-violet and chemical mutagenesis to enhance erythritol production. The mutants were screened for higher reductase activity on agar plates containing high concentration of glucose and 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC). One of the mutants named as R23 gave maximum erythritol production, 60.3 g L(-1), compared to 14 g L(-1) of the parent strain. Glucose and yeast extract were identified as critical medium components which decide the ratio of polyols produced, mainly erythritol, mannitol and glycerol. In order to enhance the production of erythritol and to minimize the production of mannitol and glycerol, a four component-five level-three response central-composite-rotatable-design (CCRD) of response surface methodology (RSM) model was used. The optimum medium composition for erythritol production was found to contain (g L(-1)) glucose 238, yeast extract 9.2, KH(2)PO(4), 5.16 and MgSO(4) 0.23. Moreover, erythritol production was studied in a 10 L fermentor in batch and fed-batch mode using RSM optimized medium. In fed-batch fermentation, 87.8 g L(-1) erythritol was produced with 31.1\% yield, without formation of any other polyols. Thus present study involving strain improvement followed by media and process optimization resulted in 6.2-fold increase in erythritol production and 3.4-fold increase in the yield.

Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are known to play an important role in human health and nutrition. Considering the limitation of LCPUFA sources, it is necessary to search new avenues for their production. Oleaginous yeasts are an attractive target for harvesting single cell oil, mainly because of the ease of cultivation with cheaper raw material. Lipomyces starkeyi is one such oleaginous yeast, which can accumulate oil to the extent of 60 \% of its biomass and where genetic transformation can be achieved. In our earlier work, Delta 15 desaturase gene (AEP37840) from flax was transformed into L. starkeyi. In the present work, we report optimization of medium for the production of omega-3 enriched oil from this transformed yeast. A basic medium containing 20 g/l glucose as a carbon source and 10 g/l yeast extract as a nitrogen source was used during fermentation. At regular time intervals, glucose was fed to maintain high C:N ratio (65:10) during fermentation. Under the most favorable conditions, dry biomass and total lipid content were 18 and 7.29 g/l, respectively. Prior to genetic transformation, L. starkeyi contained 56.03 mg/l DHA along with 71.4 mg/l EPA and 42.2 mg/l ALA. Genetic engineering of this yeast resulted in a strain that produced 1080 mg/l DHA (17.4 \%) along with 74.28 mg/l EPA and 126.72 mg/l ALA possibly through modification of PUFA biosynthetic pathway. To the best of our knowledge, this is a first report of DHA enrichment and opens up avenues for LCPUFA production through L. starkeyi.

Xylitol, a five-carbon sugar alcohol, has a steady global market and finds application as a natural sugar substitute in various food and confectionery products. Biocatalytic xylitol production, although touted as a greener alternative to conventional chemical catalysis, suffers from certain challenges, the primary being high cost of production. This study demonstrates a process for food-grade xylitol production from corncob biomass with energy reduction through two major process modifications. A non-conventional fermentation strategy was adopted whereby adjusting aeration without agitation, xylitol with high yield (0.86 +/- 0.015 g/g), and productivity (0.74 gL(-1)h(-1)) could be produced by a GRAS Pichia caribbica MTCC 5703 strain. Xylitol was recovered from the broth in the form of crystals using a combination of membrane-based filtration and crystallization. The crystals demonstrated similar to 98 \% purity when quantified with H-1 NMR. Oral toxicity analysis of the crystals demonstrated no adverse effect in female Winstar rats (at a loading of 2000 mg/kg body weight of animals). Overall process statistics showed that 0.584 kg of food-grade xylitol crystals could be produced from 3.5 kg of corncob biomass. The two-process modifications during fermentation and xylitol recovery enabled an energy saving of similar to 20.842 kW/kg of crystals, providing tremendous advantages for biorefinery-based large-scale xylitol production from corncob biomass.

Xylitol, a commodity chemical, is widely used in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations. Microbial xylitol production is a promising alternative to mitigate current industrial practice issues and offers an environment-friendly sustainable conversion route. This study demonstrates a bioprocess for xylitol production from corncob using a mesophilic yeast Pichia caribbica. Corncob was hydrolyzed by dilute acid and steam explosion to recover fermentable xylose and used as the feed for xylitol production. Activated carbon treatment (3\% w/v) completely removed the biomass-derived inhibitors furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural from the liquid hydrolysate. The fermenting yeast Pichia caribbica produced 124.1 +/- 0.45 g/L xylitol from the detoxified and concentrated corncob hydrolysate with a high yield of 0.80 +/- 0.02 g/g. The crystallized xylitol with 96.5\% purity demonstrated no harmful effects on the cell line used as a control for the in-vitro toxicity studies. This proof of concept can be applied to help scale up for bio-refinery-based large-scale production of xylitol from corncob biomass.(c) 2022 Institution of Chemical Engineers.

Erythritol has been produced by various microorganisms including Yarrowia, Moniliella, Aureobasidium, and Candida strains. Due to its relatively high price, erythritol sweetener is used lesser than other polyols despite having many advantages. Therefore, in this study, Moniliella pollinis strain was improved for erythritol production by chemical mutagenesis and subsequently screening for cost-effective carbon sources for the enhanced erythritol yield. M. pollinis was subjected to N-methyl N-nitro N-nitroso guanidine (NTG), ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS), and UV mutagenesis for improved erythritol production. The fmutant strains were evaluated for enhanced erythritol production medium optimization by using different carbon substrates at the shake flask level. To enhance the production of erythritol and statistical media, optimization was carried out using a central composite design (CCD). Among 198 isolated mutants, Mutant-58 strain generated by EMS mutagenesis was selected for further assessment. The Mutant-58 strain showed significant morphological changes as compared to the parent strain. Furthermore, statistically optimized media composition resulted in the higher production of erythritol (91.2 \& PLUSMN; 3.4 g/L) with a yield of 40.7 \& PLUSMN; 3.4 \% in shake flask experiments. The optimized medium composition for erythritol production constitutes (g/L) 225 jaggery, 4.4 yeast extract (YE), 4.4 KH2PO4, 0.31 MgSO4, and pH 5.5. The present study demonstrated strain improvement, media, and process optimization resulting in a 30\% increase in the erythritol production in the Mutant-58 as compared to the parent strain. This is also the first instance where jaggery has been used as a cost-effective carbon source alternative to glucose for industrial-scale erythritol production.
