    Exploitation 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, Yekta
    The 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

    Production of Antimicrobial Films by Incorporation of Partially Purified Lysozyme Into Biodegradable Films of Crude Exopolysaccharides Obtained From Aureobasidium Pullulans Fermentation

    Antimicrobial films were produced by incorporating partially purified lysozyme into films of crude exopolysaccharides (59% pullulan) obtained from Aureobasidium pullulans fermentation. After film making, the films containing lysozyme at 100, 260, 520 and 780 μg/cm2 showed 23 to 70% of their expected enzyme activities. The highest recovery of enzyme activity (65-70%) after the film making was obtained in films prepared by incorporating lysozyme at 260 μg/cm2 (1409 U/cm2). The incorporation of disodium EDTA·2H2O and sucrose did not affect the initial lysozyme activity of the films significantly. With or without the presence of disodium EDTA·2H2O at 52 or 520 μg/cm2, lysozyme activity showed sufficient stability in the films during 21 days of cold storage. However, the presence of sucrose at 10 mg/cm2 in the films caused the destabilization of part of enzyme activity (almost 35%) at the end of storage. The combinational incorporation of lysozyme at 780 μg/cm 2 (4227 U/cm2) and disodium EDTA·2H2O at 520 μg/cm2 gave antimicrobial films effective on Escherichia coli. However, in the studied lysozyme concentration range the films did not show any antimicrobial activity against Lactobacillus plantarum. This study clearly showed that the partially purified lysozyme and crude exopolysaccharides from Aureobasidium pullulans may be used to obtain antimicrobial films to increase the safety of foods.
