Enhanced lipase production by mutation induced Aspergillus japonicus

Abstract: The purpose of the present investigation is to enhance production of the biomedically important enzyme, lipase, by subjecting the indigenous lipase producing fungal strain Aspergillus japonicus MTCC 1975 to strain improvement and random mutagenesis (UV irradiation, HNO 2 and N-methyl-N'nitro-N-nitroso guanidine). The isolation of mutants and the lipolytic activity of selected mutants were described. The best UV selectant (AUV 3) showed 127% higher lipase activity than the parent strain. The lipase yield of the… Show more

“…In this work, the production of extracellular lipase by A. japonicus using olive oil as substrate was evaluated, and the obtained enzymatic extract clearly demonstrate the ability of microorganism to hydrolyze triacylglycerols, achieving, 20.42 U ml −1 and 934.958 U mg −1 of lipase hydrolytic activity and specific activity, respectively. These results are in accordance with those (20.6 U ml −1 ) obtained by Karanam et al [44] in the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl palmitate (pNPP) by a lipase preparation using a genetically modified strain of A. japonicus MTCC 1975. Evaluating the lipase production by A. japonicus LAB01 in medium supplemented with sunflower oil (1% w w −1 ), at pH 6.0, Souza et al [47] achieved 28.04 U ml −1 on pNPP hydrolysis.…”

“…As aforementioned, microbial lipases, cf., Aspergillus-based lipases present great potential to be used in many industrial fields, to produce detergents, biodiesel, bread, functional foods, among others [43]. There are few reports about the microbial production of lipase by A. japonicus in the literature [44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. However, among the works found, it is clear that the kinetic parameters (K M and V max ) are directly affected by the composition of nutritional media, substrate used in the enzymatic assay, type of cultivation (solid or submerged) and several processual parameters, i.e., pH, temperature and agitation [44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

“…Random mutagenesis has been applied in a large number of fungal species for many industrial purposes, such as improved cellulase production in Aspergillus sp. [35], lipase production by Aspergillus japonicus [26] or citric acid overproduction by the industrial workhorse Aspergillus niger [36]. Moreover, UV-derived mutations were reported in A. niger to increase Filter Paper activity (FPase) and carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) production [37].…”

“…Classically, enzyme production by microorganisms has been enhanced by random mutagenesis, including mutants induced by chemicals such as N-methyl-N=-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and by UV radiation (5,6). Strain improvement processes have been described for producing various industrial enzymes, including lipases, chitinases, cellulases, glucoamylases, and proteases (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Enzymes for industrial use are produced by growing bacteria and fungi under submerged or solid-state conditions.…”
