Aspergillus niger CFTRI 30 produced 1.3 g citric acid/10 g dry coffee husk in 72 h solid-state fermentation when the substrate was moistened with 0.075 M NaOH solution. Production was increased by 17% by adding a mixture of iron, copper and zinc to the medium but enrichment of the moist solid medium

โฆ Synopsis
A number of culture conditions for protease production by Aspergillus oryzae N R R L 2160 on solid substrates were investigated. The p H of the medium a n d the substrate markedly affected protease production. High protease yield was obtained when the fungus was cultivated for 72-96 h on rice hulls: rice bran (7:3), at an initial p H of 7.0. Maximal protease production was achieved at an initial moisture content of 35-40%, corresponding to a water activity range of 0.982-0.986. Casein and gluten were effective inducers. Polyethylene bags proved to be promising containment systems for solid state cultivation.
