Glucoamylase Production in Batch and Fed-Batch Solid State Fermentation: Effect of Maltose or Starch Addition

  • Published : 2001.02.01

Abstract

Maltose and soluble starch were used as secondary sources of carbon for glucoamylase production by Aspergillus awamori in solid state fermentation. During batch cultivation, maltose above 2.5%(w/w) repressed glucoamylase production, but, by adding either 2.5% (w/w) maltose or 1.25% (w/w) soluble starch to fed-batch cultivations, glucoamylase activity was increased by 15% and 170% over standard medium, respectively. The data showed that maltose is a weak inducer of glucoamylase production in solid stat fermentation.
