| dc.description.abstract |
Prawn waste, a chitinous solid waste of the shell®sh processing industry, was used as a substrate for chitinase
production by the marine fungus Beauveria bassiana BTMF S10, in a solid state fermentation (SSF) culture.
The process parameters in¯uencing SSF were optimized. A maximum chitinase yield of 248.0 units/g initial dry
substrate (U/gIDS) was obtained in a medium containing a 5:1 ratio (w/v) of prawn waste/sea water, 1% (w/w)
NaCl, 2.5% (w/w) KH2PO4, 425±600 lm substrate particle size at 27 °C, initial pH 9.5, and after 5 days of incubation.
The presence of yeast extract reduced chitinase yield. The results indicate scope for the utilization of shell®sh
processing (prawn) waste for the industrial production of chitinase by using solid state fermentation. |
