Production of Cellulase enzyme by submerged fermentation process from Penicillium variabile

Bhaskar Chandra Das, Dr. Manas Das, Pronoy Sinha

Abstract :

Studies on the environmental parameters of Penicillium variabile (IJMARI 121) for production of cellulase enzyme under submerged condition revealed that this strain behave differently from the conditions of surface fermentation. Enzyme production reached maximum on the fifth day of incubation in shake flask, but on fourth day in the fermentor. The optimal pH, temperature and inoculum volume were 4.0, 28o C and 5% respectively. The maximum production of enzyme in the fermentor was obtained with 10% wheat an as substrate and V/2V aeration rate.
