Bioprocessing of Agricultural Residuals for the Optimum Production of Extracellular Xylanase by Aspergillus brasiliensis in Solid State Fermentation (SsF)
Author(s): Hooi Ling Ho and Stephanie Ak SaliHooi Ling Ho and Stephanie Ak Sali
Objective: Xylanase production by Aspergillus species has become valuable and attractive due to its vast applications in pulp and paper, food and beverage, detergent and textiles industries. Xylanase is one of the hemicellulolytic enzymes that capable of hydrolysis of ß-1,4 xylans present in the lignocellulosic materials. Therefore, Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 was used to investigate the maximum production of xylanase using various agricultural residuals in solid state fermentation (SsF).
Methods: SsF is the fermentation process of culturing microorganisms using humid solid substrates without emerging in culture broth. SsF has always been an attractive substitute of liquid culture for xylanase production due to its higher productivity per reactor volume, lower capital investment and lesser energy demand. Hence..
