Fermentation technology plays a very important role in the field of Biotechnology. Production of various enzymes, antibiotics, single cell proteins, various food products, etc is carried out in a vessel called as the bioreactor which is the seed of fermentation technology. The project includes study of Pectinase production using submerged fermentation and various parameters like different substrate, different strains and fermentation time to obtain the maximum yield of Pectinase. To achieve this various research is being conducted. Aspergillus Niger species was being used in this work for the production of Pectinase.

Laccases are multi copper oxidases having wide substrate specificity mainly found in white-rot fungi, which are the only microorganisms able to degrade the whole wood components. In contrast to most enzymes, which are generally very substrate specific, laccases act on a surprisingly broad range of substrates, including diphenols, polyphenols, different substituted phenols, diamines, aromatic amines, benzenethiols and even some inorganic compounds such as iodine. As they are capable of degrading a wide variety of compounds they are commercially very significant. This project aims at studying the production optimization of laccase using different carbon sources.

Enzymes play a vital role in the industry with a wide range of application. Agricutural waste is the maximum waste been produced in India. This Project aims at using various agricultural wastes for the production of Protease. To achieve this various research is being conducted. Various Bacterial and Fungal species are being used for the production of Protease. Penicillium species was being used in this work for the production of Protease .In this work the various components of the media were studied and were optimized and used for the production of Protease.
