  Phytases, pectinases, and invertases are three major industrially important enzymes that find significant applications in food, feed, pharmaceutical and environmental sectors. The six isolated fungal species (JUIT, 1-6), isolated from soil Waknaghat, HP, have been identified as Aspergillus sp. through microscopical studies and fruiting body formation. Identified fungal isolates have been screened for multienzymes (Invertase, Pectinase and Phytase) production through solid state and Submerged Fermentations. Among all the fungal strains screened, Aspergillus nidulans (JUIT 4) and Aspergillus niger (JUIT 5) showed the highest coproduction of multi enzymes through Solid State Fermentation using wheat bran and maltose as a substrate and inducer, respectively. The Solid State Fermentation conditions seems to be equal to 2 ml spore susp.. Read More»
