Abstract

Aim: The study evaluated various fermentation conditions for the production of mannanase. Place and Duration of Study: Industrial Biotechnology Research Laboratory (IBRL), School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia between May 2009 and September 2010. Methodology: Solid substrate fermentation was carried out in a shallow aluminum tray system (16 cm x 16 cm x 5 cm) for maximum mannanase production by Aspergillus niger USM F4 using rice husk as a substrate. Results: The maximum mannanase activity of 119.91 U/g substrate was achieved on the 6 days of cultivation when the optimized physical parameters were used (substrate thickness of 1.6 cm or equivalent to 80 g of 0.75 mm rice husk, moisture content to substrate ratio of 1:1 (w/v), cultivation temperature at room temperature (28±2ºC), inoculum size of 6x106 spores/ml and in static condition (no mixing during the fermentation process). The results showed an increment of about 30.79% of mannanase activity after the optimization (119.91 U/g substrate) compared to before optimization (91.68 U/g substrate). Conclusion: The results obtained from this study revealed that rice husk can be used as a substrate for mannanase production in solid state fermentation process.
