Studies on the effect of pH, temperature and metal ions on the production of pectinase from tamarind kernel powder by submerged fermentation using Aspergillus foetidus (NCIM 505)

Abstract: Filamentous fungi Aspergillus foetidus NCIM 505 was studied for its capacity to produce exo-pectinase in submerged fermentation (SMF) from a new substrate of tamarind kernel powder (TKP). The process was further studied to optimize the initial operating variables like pH, time and temperature. Maximum pectinolytic activity was reached at 72 h of growth and the best fungal strain was found to be A. foetidus NCIM 505. Further, to increase the production rate of pectinase, the effects of metal ions were studied.

“…This is also authenticated that pectinase may be a metalloenzyme, which is activated in the presence of metals, especially, the K + . JagadeeshBabu and Viswanathan ( 2010 ) have reported that significant enhancement in the level of pectinase production by A. foetidus NCIM 505 was achieved with Cu 2+ which was found to be deleterious for A . terreus .…”

“…TKP has also been used for ethanol production using the thermotolerant Ascomycetous fungi Debaromyces hansenii . TKP and its derivatives have been used for adsorption of metal ions, as ion exchangers, and in effluent treatment processes. It has also been exploited for the production of different enzymes, such as pectinase, using some species of Aspergillus, , xylanase, and cellulase from Termitomyces clypeatus …”
