Screening of microorganisms as potential inulinase production using agroindustrial residues and optimization of culture conditions using response surface methodology
The use of agroindustrial residues in exchange of synthetic medium is
a good alternative to reduce the production costs of inulinase,
since the production is improved and the downstream step will be viable
technical and economically. Nevertheless, is necessary to realize screening of
microorganisms that are able to over produce inulinase
using agroindustrial residues. Based on these aspects, the objective of this work was to select
different strains of yeasts of genus Kluyveromyces
able produce inulinase employed agroindustrial residues. The results
obtained on fementative screening using synthetic medium, from the 10 strain
tested, pointed out that six microorganisms have potential on inulinase
production. These strains were selected to carried out fermentations replace
the synthetic medium for agroindustrial residues. The results of screening
showed that two microorganisms were able to over produce the enzyme: the strain
NCYC 587 and NRRL Y-7571. To optimize
the production of inulinase by the strain NCYC 587 a
fractional experimental design (25-1) and a 23 full
factorial design were realized. To optimize the production by the strain NRRL
Y-7571 a fractional experimental design (24-1) and a 22
full factorial design were realized. The production optimized for the two
strains was approximately of 720 U mL-1. The
composition optimized (for both strains) of agroindustrial
residues were (g L-1): molasses 90.0, CSL 45.0 and YE 4.0. The temperature optimal was 30C for both
strains and pH optimal was 3.5 for strain NCYC 587 and 5.5 for strain NRRL
Y-7571. The production was improved seven times employed agroindustrial
residues.
