Culture ofStaphylococcus xylosusin fish processing by-product-based media for lipase production

Abstract

Aims: The objective of this study was to demonstrate that fish‐processing by‐products could be used as sole raw material to sustain the growth of Staphylococcus xylosus for lipase production. Methods and Results: Bacterial growth was tested on supernatants generated by boiling (100°C for 20 min) of tuna, sardine, cuttlefish and shrimp by‐products from fish processing industries. Among all samples tested, only supernatants generated from shrimp and cuttlefish by‐products sustained the growth of S. xylosus. Shrimp‐based medium gave the highest growth (A600 = 22) after 22 h of culture and exhibited the maximum lipase activity (28 U ml−1). This effect may be explained by better availability of nutrients, especially, in shrimp by‐products. Standard medium (SM) amendments to sardine and tuna by‐product‐based media stimulated the growth of S. xylosus and the highest A600 values were obtained with 75% SM. Lipase activity, however, remained below 4 U ml−1 for both sardine and tuna by‐product‐based media. Conclusions: Fish by‐products could be used for the production of highly valuable enzymes. Significance and Impact of the Study: The use of fish by‐products in producing S. xylosus‐growth media can reduce environmental problems associated with waste disposal and, simultaneously, lower the cost of biomass and enzyme production.

Extraction, purification and characterization of an antioxidant from marine waste using protease and chitinase cocktail

“…Being a prominent source of chitin, marine waste can be used for the extraction of the chitin oligomers with the possibility of development of antioxidant formulations. So far marine waste has been used for the production of chitinases, antifungal hydrolytic enzymes, metalloproteases, carotenoids, amino acids and lipases (Chang et al 2007;Gimeno et al 2007;Sachindra et al 2007;Ben Rebah et al 2008). Some workers have reported antioxidant activities in proteolytic hydrolysates from shrimp waste (Sachindra and Bhaskar 2008).…”

Preparation of marine silage of swordfish, ray and shark visceral waste by lactic acid bacteria

“…On the other hand, fish visceral waste are an excellent source of proteolytic activities , marine peptones for supporting bacteriocin production (Vázquez et al, 2004a), recovery of carotenoid from shrimp biowaste (Bhaskar et al, 2007), lactobacillus growth Horn et al, 2005), biomass production from marine bacteria (Vázquez et al, 2004b), hyaluronic and lactic acid production , recovery of oil from viscera (Raia et al, 2010) and also microbial enzyme production (Ellouz et al, 2001;Vázquez et al, 2006;Rebah et al, 2008).…”

Modification of non-selective-solid media for aquatic bacteria

“…Pemanfaatan kaldu ikan sebagai media tumbuh bakteri sudah banyak dikaji (Aspmo et al, 2005;Aspmo et al, 2005;Martone et al, 2005;Horn et al, 2007;Rebah et al, 2008). Kaldu ikan pertama kali digunakan sebagai media tumbuh bakteri oleh Louis Pasteur.…”
