Production of raw cassava starch-degrading enzyme by Penicillium and its use in conversion of raw cassava flour to ethanol

Abstract: A newly isolated strain Penicillium sp. GXU20 produced a raw starch-degrading enzyme which showed optimum activity towards raw cassava starch at pH 4.5 and 50 °C. Maximum raw cassava starch-degrading enzyme (RCSDE) activity of 20 U/ml was achieved when GXU20 was cultivated under optimized conditions using wheat bran (3.0% w/v) and soybean meal (2.5% w/v) as carbon and nitrogen sources at pH 5.0 and 28 °C. This represented about a sixfold increment as compared with the activity obtained under basal conditions. … Show more

“…On the other hand, on-site production of multiactivity enzyme preparations from Penicillium sp. [11] and A. niger [20] for use in the hydrolysis of raw cassava starch has been reported as a potential improvement to the SSF process. However, because on-site manufacturing of multi-activity enzyme preparations is a relatively new concept, they have only been evaluated on a laboratory scale (e.g., 250-ml Erlenmeyer Xasks).…”

“…Vários autores já conseguiram expressar genes de glicoamilases de fungos filamentosos em S. cerevisiae, tais como Aspergillus awamorii GA1 (LIN et al, 1998), Aspergillus awamori Sga1 (FAVARO et al, 2010), Aspergillus oryzae GlaA (KOTAKA et al, 2008), Rhyzopus oryzae GAII (ASHIKARI et al, 1989), Rhizopus arrhizus GA (YANG et al, 2011). No entanto, nenhum desses autores relata o potencial destas glicoamilases degradarem amido bruto de mandioca.…”

“…No presente trabalho, a S. cerevisiae empregada é uma cepa haploide, mas que produziu 4,22 g/L em 96 horas de fermentação usando 20 g/L de um substrato altamente impuero e não solúvel que é o amido industrial de mandioca o que tem um apelo maior por ser de baixo custo. Lin et al (2011) descreveram o potencial do fungo Penicillium sp. GXU20 em produzir enzimas de degradação de amido bruto de mandioca para a produção de etanol durante 6 dias de cultivo.…”

“…Cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz), the world's fourth most important crop, is grown in many countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and is widely employed as a raw material for many industrial applications, such as animal feed, starch, and biofuel [24]. Additionally, cassava has a strong adaptability and can grow on arid and semiarid land, and contains nearly the maximum theoretical concentration of starch on a dry weight basis for a food crop [7].…”
