Article Production of Microalgae-Derived Exo-Polygalacturonase for Fruit Juice Clarification(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022) Uzuner, Sibel; Evrendilek, Gulsun Akdemir; Kurhan, SebnemDue to the growing demand for commercial enzymes derived from renewable and sustainable resources with higher efficacy, algal biomass has gained more attention. Thus, the production of exo-polygalacturonase (PGase) from Bacillus subtilis under submerged fermentation (SmF) using algal feedstocks as a carbon source in fermentation medium and its potential use for the clarification of apple and carrot juices with the optimization of the enzyme loading, pH, and time using Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM) were prompted. The maximum PGase activity of 510.61 +/- 7.86 U/L was achieved at pH 5.0 after 48 h at 40 degrees C using 0.5% (w/v) pectin, 0.1% (w/v) yeast extract, 0.02% (w/v) MgSO47H2O, 0.02% (w/v) K2HPO4, 0.3% (w/v) glucose, and 0.583% (w/v) microalgae hydrolysate as a fermentation medium. PGase production without glucose was favored by SmF with a shake flask working volume of 100 ml (248.90 +/- 4.58 U/L) as compared to a bioreactor with a working volume of 1 L (192.99 +/- 0.84) for 48 h. Both carrot and apple juices were treated with the crude PGase (248.9 U/L) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), temperature (30-50 degrees C), and time (30-120 min), and the maximal clarification conditions were obtained as 0.3% (w/v) enzyme concentration at 50 degrees C for 30 min exposure time. This study revealed that microalgae-derived PGase in crude form could be effectively used for clarification of the juices.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 34Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes and By-Products for Production of Aureobasidium Pullulans Y-2311 Xylanase: Screening, Bioprocess Optimization and Scale Up(Springer Verlag, 2017) Yeğin, Sırma; Büyükkileci, Ali Oğuz; Sargın, Sayıt; Göksungur, YektaThe potential of several agricultural wastes and by-products (wheat bran, oat bran, corn cob, brewer’s spent grain, malt sprout, artichoke stem, sugar beet pulp, olive seed, cotton stalk and hazelnut skin) was examined as the substrate for xylanase production by Aureobasidium pullulans Y-2311-1. Based on the screening studies, wheat bran was selected as the best substrate for further optimization studies. The effects of initial medium pH, temperature and incubation time on xylanase production in shake flask system were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum levels of the process variables defined by the model (initial medium pH, 4.24; temperature, 30.27 °C; and incubation time 126.67 h) resulted in production of 85.19 U/ml xylanase. Taking the RSM optimized parameters in shake-flask scale into consideration; xylanase production was scaled up to bioreactor system with a working volume of 1.5 l. The peak of enzyme production was achieved after 126 h incubation that has previously been determined by RSM studies at shake flask level. Furthermore, the optimum levels of agitation and aeration in bioreactor system was found as 200 rpm and 1.5 vvm. Maximum enzyme production was close to 85 kU/l which could be translated into a productivity of 0.68 kU/l/h. No previous work considered the statistical optimization of xylanase production by A. pullulans on wheat bran and scale up of the bioprocess to a bioreactor system
