Abstract
Bacillus sp. PM06, previously isolated from sugarcane waste pressmud, could produce dual enzymes α-amylase and cellulase. The isolate's crude enzymes were purified homogeneously using ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by High Quaternary amine anion exchange chromatography. Purified enzymes revealed the molecular weights of α-amylase and cellulase as 55 and 52 kDa, with a purification fold of 15.4 and 11.5, respectively. The specific activity of purified α-amylase and cellulase were 740.7 and 555.6 U/mg, respectively. It demonstrated a wide range of activity from pH 5.0 to 8.5, with an optimum pH of 5.5 and 6.4 for α-amylase and cellulase. The optimum temperature was 50 °C for α-amylase and 60 °C for cellulase. The kinetic parameters of purified α-amylase were 741.5 ± 3.75 µmol/min/mg, 1.154 ± 0.1 mM, and 589 ± 3.5/(s mM), using starch as a substrate. Whereas cellulase showed 556.3 ± 1.3 µmol/min/mg, 1.78 ± 0.1 mM, and 270.9 ± 3.8/(s mM) of Vmax, Km, Kcat/Km, respectively, using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as substrate. Among the various substrates tested, α-amylase had a higher specificity for amylose and CMC for cellulase. Different inhibitors and activators were also examined. Ca2+ Mg2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ boosted α-amylase and cellulase activities. Cu2+ and Ni2+ both inhibited the enzyme activities. Enzymatic saccharification of wheat bran yielded 253.61 ± 1.7 and 147.5 ± 1.0 mg/g of reducing sugar within 12 and 24 h of incubation when treated with purified α-amylase and cellulase. A more significant amount of 397.7 ± 1.9 mg/g reducing sugars was released from wheat bran due to the synergetic effect of two enzymes. According to scanning electron micrograph analysis, wheat bran was effectively broken down by both enzymes.

Abstract
This study evaluated Streptomyces rochei strain NAM-19 solid-state fermentation of agricultural wastes to produce alkaline protease. Alkaline protease production increased with flaxseed, rice bran, and cheese whey fermentation reaching 147 U/mL at 48 h. Statistical optimization of alkaline protease production was performed using the central composite design (CDD). Results of CDD and the optimization plot showed that 4.59 g/L flaxseed, 4.31 g/L rice bran, 4.17 mL cheese whey, and a vegetative inoculum size of 7.0% increased alkaline protease production by 27.2% reaching 186 U/mL. Using the 20-70% ammonium sulfate fractionation method, the optimally produced enzyme was partially purified to fivefold. The partially purified alkaline protease was then covalently immobilized on a biopolymer carrier, glutaraldehyde-polyethylene-imine-κ-carrageenan (GA-PEI-Carr), with 90% immobilization efficiency. Characterizations revealed that immobilization improved thermostability, reusability, optimum temperature, and sensitivity towards metal ions of the free enzyme. The optimal temperature for free and immobilized enzymes was 40 and 50 °C, respectively. Both enzymes had the same optimum pH of 10. Immobilization increased Km from 19.73 to 26.52 mM and Vmax from 56.7 to 62.5 mmol min-1L-1. The immobilized enzyme retained 35% of its initial activity at 70 °C, while the free enzyme retained only 5%. The immobilized enzyme kept 80% of its initial activity at the 20th cycle. After 7 weeks of storage, the free enzyme lost all its initial activity, whereas the immobilized enzyme retained 50%. The free and immobilized enzymes were able to hydrolyze gelatin, and azo-casein demonstrating different relative activity, 85, 80, 90 and 95%, respectively, compared to casein (100%).

Abstract
Whey is a byproduct of dairy industries, the aqueous portion which separates from cheese during the coagulation of milk. It represents approximately 85-95% of milk's volume and retains much of its nutrients, including functional proteins and peptides, lipids, lactose, minerals, and vitamins. Due to its composition, mainly proteins and lactose, it can be considered a raw material for value-added products. Whey-derived products are often used to supplement food, as they have shown several physiological effects on the body. Whey protein hydrolysates are reported to have different activities, including antihypertensive, antioxidant, antithrombotic, opioid, antimicrobial, cytomodulatory, and immuno-modulatory. On the other hand, galactooligosaccharides obtained from lactose can be used as prebiotic for beneficial microorganisms for the human gastrointestinal tract. All these compounds can be obtained through physicochemical, microbial, or enzymatic treatments. Particularly, enzymatic processes have the advantage of being highly selective, more stable than chemical transformations, and less polluting, making that the global enzyme market grow at accelerated rates. The sources and different products associated with the most used enzymes are particularly highlighted in this review. Moreover, we discuss metagenomics as a tool to identify novel proteolytic enzymes, from both cultivable and uncultivable microorganisms, which are expected to have new interesting activities. Finally enzymes for the transformation of whey sugar are reviewed. In this sense, carbozymes with ß-galactosidase activity are capable of lactose hydrolysis, to obtain free monomers, and transgalactosylation for prebiotics production. KEY POINTS: • Whey can be used to obtain value-added products efficiently through enzymatic treatments • Proteases transform whey proteins into biopeptides with physiological activities • Lactose can be transformed into prebiotic compounds using ß-galactosidases.

Abstract
Research on proteases and secondary metabolites from endophytes is an area that requires attention from researchers. In this study, proteases from Bacillus sp. strain MHSD16 and Bacillus sp. strain MHSD17 endophytes were characterised, and their potential biotechnological applications were investigated. Optimum protease production was achieved when isolates were grown in media containing (g/L): glucose 10g, casein 5g, yeast extract 5g, KH2PO4 2g, Na2CO3 10g at pH 9. The crude protease extracts were active in alkaline environments, thus referred to as alkaline proteases with optimal pH of 10. Additionally, Bacillus sp. strain MHSD 16 and Bacillus sp. strain MHSD17 proteases were active at high temperatures, with optimum enzyme activity at 50 °C. Thermostability profiles of these proteases showed that the enzymes were highly stable between (40-60 °C), maintaining over 85 % stability after 120 min incubation at 60 °C. Furthermore, the enzymes were stable and compatible with various household and laundry detergents. In the presence of commercial laundry detergent, OMO® 68 % and 72 % activity was retained for Bacillus sp. strain MHSD16 and Bacillus sp. strain MHSD17, respectively, while 67 % and 68 % activity were retained in the presence of Sunlight®. The potential application for use in detergents was investigated through the removal of blood stains with the crude alkaline extracts displaying efficient stain removal abilities. Feather degradation was also investigated and Bacillus sp. MHSD17 exhibited feather keratin degrading properties more effectively than Bacillus sp. MHSD16.

Saudi J Biol Sci 2024; 31:103947. [PMID: 38371876 PMCID: PMC10873748 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2024.103947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The production of corn generates a substantial amount of agro-industrial waste, with corncob accounting for a significant portion of this waste. In this study, we focused on utilizing corncob as a carbon source and inducer to simultaneously produce two valuable industrial enzymes, protease, and xylanase, using a recombinant strain of B. halodurans CM1. Interestingly, xylan-rich corncob not only enhanced the xylanase activity but also induced protease activity of the modified B. halodurans CM1 strain. The effect of corncob concentration on the coproduction of protease and xylanase was investigated. Corncob with 6 % concentration induced protease activity of 1020.7 U/mL and xylanase activity of 502.8 U/mL in a 7 L bioreactor under the condition of 1 vvm aeration, 250 rpm agitation, 37 °C temperature, initial pH 9.0, and 40 h incubation period. The protease produced was an alkalothermophilic enzyme whose highest activity was at pH 12 and 50 °C, and it belonged to a serine protease family. This alkalothermophilic protease's activity to some degree was reduced by Co2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and K+, but enhanced by Ca2+ and Ni2+ (at 5 mM). The protease was stable even under the presence of a 15 % concentration of acetone, DMSO, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol. The protease activity at 30 °C was not considerably changed by the presence of detergent, indicating excellent potential as a washing detergent additive. According to these findings, corncob has the potential to be a substrate for the coproduction of protease and xylanase, which have a wide range of industrial uses.

[PMID: 38474454 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29050942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
A green extraction method was developed using deep eutectic solvent extraction for the polysaccharide from Acanthopanax senticosus (A. senticosus). Among the eight types of DES prepared, the DES with a ratio of 1:4 L-malic acid to L-proline was found to be a suitable extraction solvent based on the extraction efficiency. The extraction parameters were optimized by Plackett-Burman and response surface methodology (RSM). The best extraction conditions were found for L-malic acid. Under the conditions of an L-malic acid/L-proline ratio of 1:4, ultrasonic power of 240 W, material-liquid ratio of 31.068 g/mL, water content of 32.364%, extraction time of 129.119 min, and extraction temperature of 60 °C, the extraction rate of A. senticosus polysaccharides was 35.452 ± 0.388 mg-g-1. This rate was higher than that of polysaccharides obtained by hot water extraction (13.652 ± 0.09 mg-g-1). The experimental results were best fitted by the quasi-secondary kinetic model when compared to two other kinetic models. Electron microscopic observations showed that DESs were more destructive to plant cells. The polysaccharide extracted from DESs had more monosaccharide components, a lower molecular weight, a higher antioxidant capacity, and superior anti-glycation activity compared to polysaccharides extracted from water (ASPS-PW). This study demonstrates the effectiveness of DESs in obtaining polysaccharides from A. senticosus.

Valorization of chicken feather waste using recombinant bacillus subtilis cells by solid-state fermentation for soluble proteins and serine alkaline protease production. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130110. [PMID: 38040301 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Feather waste, a by-product of the poultry industry, is rich in proteins, peptides, and amino acids. Improper disposal of feathers can cause environmental pollution. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a viable alternative to submerged fermentation due to its simplicity, productivity, and lower cost. The study goal is a biorefinery of chicken feather waste supplemented with wheat bran using a recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain to produce soluble proteins and a serine alkaline protease. Plackett-Burman Design and Central Composite Design were utilized in a statistical-mathematical model to optimize the process. Multi-factorial design optimization resulted in 80 % substrate degradation efficiency, an alkaline protease with dual activities (1423 proteolytic units and 190 keratinolytic units), 214 mg soluble proteins/g substrate, and 87 % model validation. Scaling up the SSF process to 50 g of substrate significantly enhanced the end products of feather biodegradation to 1616 proteolytic units, 2844 keratinolytic units, and 127 mg soluble proteins/g substrate. AIM AND SCOPE OF THE MANUSCRIPT: The aim of the present study is to utilize chicken feather waste (alone or supplemented with other materials) through recombinant Bacillus subtilis cells using solid state fermentation (SSF) at a laboratory scale. The plan study provides a promising waste management in the environmental field concerning biodegradation of such recalcitrant keratinous wastes supplemented with agricultural residues via recombinant microorganism. On semi-pilot scale, high production and quality of soluble protein, protease, and keratinase activity were produced according to the statistically optimised first stage fermentation in the laboratory scale. The bioconversion process took place as a major goal to obtain valuable products, with low utilities and energy requirements. Therefore, this will consider as an economically feasible and environmentally friendly alternative. Moreover, this study is considered as first step fermentation for feather waste to pave the road for directing it to a second step fermentation for biogas production and bioenergy generation through bio-electrochemical systems (Manuscript under publication).

Abstract
The demand for enzymes is increasing continuously due to their applications in various avenues. The pectin-hydrolyzing bacteria, Cellulomonas sp. and Bacillus sp., isolated from forest soil have the potential to produce industrially important enzymes (pectinase, PGase, Cellulase, and xylanase). However, these bacteria have different optimal cultural conditions for pectinase production. The optimal cultural conditions for Cellulomonas sp. were room temperature (25-26℃), pH 7, 1% inoculum volume, and 1.5% citrus pectin with 8.82 ± 0.92 U/mL pectinase activity. And Bacillus sp. illustrated the highest pectinase activity (12.35 ± 0.72 U/mL) at room temperature, pH 10, 1% inoculum volume, and 1.5% pectin concentration. Among the different agro-wastes, the orange peel was found to be the best substrate for pectinase, PGase, and cellulase activity whereas barley straw for xylanase activity. Further, Cellulomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. illustrated higher pectinase activity from commercial pectin compared to orange peel showing their preference for commercial citrus pectin. In addition, the optimization by the Box-Behnken design increased pectinase activity for Cellulomonas sp., while a noticeable increase in activity was not observed in Bacillus sp. Besides, all the agro-wastes exploited in this study can be used for pectinase, PGase, and xylanase production but not cellulase. The study revealed that each bacteria has its specific optimal conditions and there is a variation in the capacity of utilizing the various lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Alkaline protease is one of the most important industrial enzymes which are excessively used in the detergent industry, food industry, feed industry, pharmaceutical industry, leather industry, etc. 60% of the produced alkaline protease is consumed by the detergent industry alone. In the present study, bacterial isolates that can produce alkaline protease for purpose of bio-detergent were screened among the isolates isolated from kinema (an alkaline fermented food of eastern Nepal). Selected bacterial isolates were further screened for hemolysis activity and the production of other hydrolytic enzymes. Four bacterial isolates selected were tested for their capacity to produce alkaline protease in five different fermentation mediums. Isolate BKHE produces a high amount of alkaline protease (0.4705 ± 0.035 U/mL/min) in fermentation medium M2 (sucrose, 11 g/L; yeast extract, 5 g/L; and KNO3, 5.2 g/l, pH 9). The selected isolate was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BKHE based on 16S rRNA sequencing and phenotypic features. This bacterial strain was also found to be thermotolerant (confluent growth at 50°C) and salt tolerant up to 10% NaCl concentration. With its versatile ability, bacterial isolate or purified enzymes have potential applications in the food and detergent industry.

Integrating 1G with 2G Bioethanol Production by Using Distillers’ Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) as the Feedstock for Lignocellulolytic Enzyme Production. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
First-generation (1G) bioethanol is one of the most used liquid biofuels in the transport industry. It is generated by using sugar- or starch-based feedstocks, while second-generation (2G) bioethanol is generated by using lignocellulosic feedstocks. Distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a byproduct of first-generation bioethanol production with a current annual production of 22.6 million tons in the USA. DDGS is rich in fiber and valuable nutrients contents, which can be used to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes such as cellulases and hemicellulases for 2G bioethanol production. However, DDGS needs a pretreatment method such as dilute acid, ammonia soaking, or steam hydrolysis to release monosaccharides and short-length oligosaccharides as fermentable sugars for use in microbial media. These fermentable sugars can then induce microbial growth and enzyme production compared to only glucose or xylose in the media. In addition, selection of one or more suitable microbial strains, which work best with the DDGS for enzyme production, is also needed. Media optimization and fermentation process optimization strategies can then be applied to find the optimum conditions for the production of cellulases and hemicellulases needed for 2G bioethanol production. Therefore, in this review, a summary of all such techniques is compiled with a special focus on recent findings obtained in previous pieces of research conducted by the authors and by others in the literature. Furthermore, a comparison of such techniques applied to other feedstocks and process improvement strategies is also provided. Overall, dilute acid pretreatment is proven to be better than other pretreatment methods, and fermentation optimization strategies can enhance enzyme production by considerable folds with a suitable feedstock such as DDGS. Future studies can be further enhanced by the technoeconomic viability of DDGS as the on-site enzyme feedstock for the manufacture of second-generation bioethanol (2G) in first-generation (1G) ethanol plants, thus bridging the two processes for the efficient production of bioethanol using corn or other starch-based lignocellulosic plants.

Abstract
AbstractThe milk-clotting enzyme (MCE) is a crucial ingredient in cheese manufacture. Due to the limits of traditional MCE, finding viable substitute is a pressing issue. This study aims to isolate and identify a wild strain with high milk-clotting activity (MCA) and low proteolytic activity (PA) and optimize the fermentation conditions for MCE production. A strain of Bacillus velezensis DB219 with high MCA/PA value (9.2) was isolated from dairy soil (Wuchang, Heilongjiang, China) and identified through 16S rRNA from 40 strains. The optimal wheat bran, carbon, nitrogen, inoculum size, volume and initial pH were 60 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, 5%, 40 mL and 6.15, respectively for improving DB219 MCE production through single factor experiment. The wheat bran concentration, corn steep liquor concentration and volume were the most critical factor and their changed range was determined through Plackett–Burman design and the steepest ascent/descent experiments. The response surface analysis experiment of three factors and three levels was conducted by Box–Behnken design. The theoretical optimal fermentation conditions for DB219 MCE were as follows: wheat bran concentration 60.14 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, inoculum size 5%, volume 40.08 mL and initial pH 6.15. DB219 MCE achieved the maximal MCA (3164.84 SU/mL) that was 101.9% of the predicted value (3104.49 SU/mL) and 4.3-fold higher than the control.

Abstract
The novel and greener approach toward the co-production of hydrolytic enzymes in a single-cultivation medium with inexpensive substrates can bring down the production costs. Likewise, the natural and industrial organic biomass/solid are all nutritionally rich substrates waiting for free use in industries such as food, biofuel, etc. Valorization must broaden its applications in industries and households with a step towards a sustainable environment. The biofuel approach can be projected as one of the most promising deputations to meet future energy demands, in reduction of the environmental pollution due to excessive fossil fuel consumption. The present review highlights the multifaceted stature of microbial enzymes in this direction and possible implications mainly in the food industry and biofuel with the global impact of similar bio-based industries. In this review, design scale-up, fermentation cost, energy needs,and agro-food waste management have been meticulously delineated.

Abstract
Coproduction of multienzymes from single potential microbe has captivated contemplation in industries. Bacterial strain, Halomonas meridiana VITSVRP14, isolated from seaweed was labored to produce amylase, agarase and xylanase conjointly using submerged fermentation. The optimum production conditions clinched by classical optimization were: pH 8; 1.5% inoculum; 24 h incubation, 40 °C; 8% NaCl (sodium chloride); 1% lactose and NaNO3 (sodium nitrate). The preponderant variables (pH, temperature, lactose) and their interaction effect on enzyme production were studied by Plackett-Burman design and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). There were 3.29, 1.81 and 2.08 fold increase in enzyme activity with respect to agarase, amylase and xylanase after optimization against basal medium. After 24 h of enzymatic treatment, the saccharification rates of the coproduced enzyme mixture were 38.96% on rice bran, 49.85% on wheat bran, 61.2% on cassava bagasse and 57.82% on corn cob. Thus, the coproduced enzyme mixture from a bacterium with halotolerance is plausible in pretreated lignocellulose degradation. The ability of this single microbe Halomonas meridiana VITSVRP14, in coproducing agarase, amylase and xylanase give the nod for its application in biomass saccharification by subsiding cost, energy and time involved in the process.

Abstract
Conventional fermentation processes need to be upgraded to produce a wide array of biomolecules to overcome lower product yield. The cost of production of biomolecules using the fermentation method could be reduced by increasing the product yield by various process enhancement methods. In this study, different innovative process enhancement methods were evaluated to increase the co-production of uricase and alkaline protease at the bioreactor level. Ultrasound-assisted fermentation (UAF), Extractive fermentation (ATPS), and Ultrasound-assisted extractive fermentation (UATPS) are the three innovative methods used for process enhancement. Maximum enzyme production was obtained in a combinatorial approach of ultrasound and extractive fermentation, i.e., ultrasound-assisted extractive fermentation where uricase and protease production enhanced by 2.5 fold and 1.9 fold, respectively, as compared to conventional fermentation.

Abstract
Advances in microbial enzyme technology offer a significant opportunity for developing low-energy bioconversion solutions for industrial wastes as inexpensive feedstocks for useful products. In this short communication, two agro-food industrial wastes, chicken feather powder (CFP) and okara, were converted into peptides by a Bacillus licheniformis mutant using solid-state fermentation (SSF). The optimum SSF conditions for okara to CFP ratio, inoculum size, and time were 0.7 (7:10), 15%, and 90 h, respectively, which produced 185.99 mg/g peptides, with 910.12 U/g keratinase activity and 85.03% antioxidant scavenging activity. Compared to okara, CFP with mutant strain showed 11.28% higher keratinase activity and produced higher amounts of peptides (5.51%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Proteases have gained great attention due to their enormous applications in food, tannery, detergent, photography and many other industries. Proteases rank third position in the production of enzymes. This paper targets to isolate a bacterium with high alkaline protease activity and optimization of its production conditions using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RESULTS A bacterium isolated from soil contaminated with detergent exhibited clearance zone on skim milk agar medium with a protease activity of 22 U/ml. The bacterial strain was identified as Bacillus cereus KM05 and optimization of its production conditions were performed using statistical methods. Further optimization with Box Behnken design resulted in an increase in protease activity by 1.5-fold (28.6 U/ml). The protease enzyme was thermotolerant up to 70 °C with stability towards alkaline pH (pH 9). The enzyme was not affected by most of the metal ions and solvents. Moreover, the protease was also compatible with six commercial detergents tested. Densitometric analysis of the destained fabric materials following the detergent-enzyme treatment, revealed a stain removal efficiency of 97%. CONCLUSION The alkaline protease enzyme obtained was stable at different conditions with stain removal efficacy. Hence, the present alkaline protease could be used for detergent formulations.

Abstract
The accumulation of petrochemical plastic waste is detrimental to the environment. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bacterial-derived polymers utilized for the production of bioplastics. PHA-plastics exhibit mechanical and thermal properties similar to conventional plastics. However, high production cost and obtaining high PHA yield and productivity impedes the widespread use of bioplastics. This study demonstrates the concept of cyclic fed-batch fermentation (CFBF) for enhanced PHA productivity by Bacillus thuringiensis using a glucose-rich hydrolyzate as the sole carbon source. The statistically optimized fermentation conditions used to obtain high cell density biomass (OD600 of 2.4175) were: 8.77 g L-1 yeast extract; 66.63% hydrolyzate (v/v); a fermentation pH of 7.18; and an incubation time of 27.22 h. The CFBF comprised three cycles of 29 h, 52 h, and 65 h, respectively. After the third cyclic event, cell biomass of 20.99 g L-1, PHA concentration of 14.28 g L-1, PHA yield of 68.03%, and PHA productivity of 0.219 g L-1 h-1 was achieved. This cyclic strategy yielded an almost threefold increase in biomass concentration and a fourfold increase in PHA concentration compared with batch fermentation. FTIR spectra of the extracted PHAs display prominent peaks at the wavelengths unique to PHAs. A copolymer was elucidated after the first cyclic event, whereas, after cycles CFBF 2-4, a terpolymer was noted. The PHAs obtained after CFBF cycle 3 have a slightly higher thermal stability compared with commercial PHB. The cyclic events decreased the melting temperature and degree of crystallinity of the PHAs. The approach used in this study demonstrates the possibility of coupling fermentation strategies with hydrolyzate derived from lignocellulosic waste as an alternative feedstock to obtain high cell density biomass and enhanced PHA productivity.

Abstract
Extracellular protease production by a novel strain, Bacillus sp. EBTA6, has been optimized by using central composite design of response surface methodology and properties and industrial applications of crude enzyme have been investigated. Three independent variables (temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration) chosen in the experimental design were significant terms and reduced cubic model fit with the design at p < 0.0001 level. The recommended temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration were 30 °C, 8, and 15 g/L, respectively. Crude enzyme displayed activity over a wide pH and temperature ranges having the optimum at 50-60 °C and pH 8. It was quite stable at high pH values and at 50 °C. Amongst the metal ions (Mg+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, K2+, and Sn2+), Ca2+ enhanced the activity and the others either decreased or did not change it. The enzyme activity was reduced by phenyl-methyl-sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA). The results revealed that the protease was serine alkaline type. Tween 20 and Tween 80 did not inhibit the enzyme, however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), reduced it by 39%. It completely removed blood stain in 20 min and coagulated milk in the presence of CaCl2.

Abstract
Multienzyme complex has attracted increased attention in biofuel technology. They offer solutions to effective degradation of complex plant material into fermentable sugars. Microorganisms, especially bacteria and fungi, are well studied for their ability to produce enzymes complex unlike yeast. Yeast strain isolated from mushroom farm was studied for simultaneous production of cellulase, xylanase and ligninase enzymes using lignocellulose waste as substrates. A response surface methodology (RSM) involving Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to investigate interaction between variables (moisture content, inoculum size, initial pH, incubation time) that affect enzyme production. Crude filtrate was partially purified and characterised. Yeast strain identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae SCPW 17 was finally studied. Evaluation of lignocellulose waste for enzyme complex production revealed corn cob to be most effective substrate for cellulase, xylanase and ligninase production with enzyme activity of 17.63 ± 1.45 U/gds, 29.35 ± 1.67 U/gds and 150.75 ± 2.01 μmol/min respectively. Time course study showed maximum enzyme complex production was obtained by day 6 with cellulase activity of 12.5 U/gds, xylanase 48.3 U/gds and ligninase 90.8 μmol/min. Using RSM involving BBD, maximum enzyme activity was found to be 19.51 ± 0.32 U/gds, 56.86 ± 0.38 U/gds, 408.17 ± 1.04 μmol/min for cellulaase, xylanase and ligninase respectively. The developed models were highly significant at probability level of P = 0.0001 and multiple correlation co-efficient (R2) was 0.9563 for cellulase, 0.9532 for xylanase and 0.9780 for ligninase. Enzyme complex was stable at varying pH and temperature conditions. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SCPW 17) studied produced enzyme complex which can be used for bioconversion of biomass to value-added chemicals.

Abstract
Biohydrogen production from organic solid waste has shown particular advantages over other methods owing to the combination of waste reduction and bioenergy production. In this study, biohydrogen production from the co-digestion of cattle manure and food waste was optimized in a mesophilic semi-continuous process. To maximize hydrogen production, the effects of the mixing ratio (the proportion of food waste in the substrate), substrate concentration, and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the co-digestion were systematically analyzed using a Box–Behnken design. The results showed that strong interactive effects existed between the three factors, and they had a direct effect on the responses. Hydrogen was primarily produced via the butyrate pathway, which was accompanied by the competing heterolactic fermentation pathway. Propionate and valerate produced from lipids and proteins, respectively, were obtained along with butyrate. The optimal process parameters included a mixing ratio of 47% to 51%, a substrate concentration of 76 to 86 g L−1, and an HRT of 2 d. Under these optimal conditions, the hydrogen production rate and hydrogen yield were higher than 1.00 L L−1 d−1 and 30.00 mL g−1 VS, respectively, and the predicted results were consistent with the experimental data. The results indicate that the co-digestion of cattle manure and food waste is a practical and economically promising approach for biohydrogen production.

Abstract
Proteolytic enzymes are one of the significant commercially manufactured enzymes. The manufacture of extracellular alkaline protease by Aspergillus tamarii MTCC5152 was explored using several agricultural by-products as substrates viz., cottonseed meal, wheat bran, skimmed milk and soya flour in submerged fermentation, were found to be efficient for enzyme production and commercially significant. Response surface methodology (RSM) is a statistics-based experimental design, sourced to explore the impact of physical parameters on the manufacture of protease from A. tamarii in a batch stirred tank bioreactor (STBR). The four substantial variables (pH, temperature, inoculum size, and agitation) were carefully chosen for optimization analyses and the statistical pattern was created using a central composite design and the quadratic model has been developed. The optimum conditions for protease production (1.51 U mL-1) where: pH 6.4, temperature 27 °C, inoculum size 2.6%, and agitation 327 rpm. The analysis revealed that the anticipated values were in accord with trial data with a correlation coefficient of 0.969.

Abstract
Application of crude xylanolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in diverse industrial processes make these enzymes commercially valuable and demand their production process to be cost-effective. Out of four different agrowaste biomass, wheat bran (WB) and citrus peel (CP), when amended as fermentation substrates, respectively induced the highest xylanolytic enzymes and pectinolytic enzymes from both, B. safensis M35 and B. altitudinis J208. Further, the simultaneous amendment of WB and CP yielded concurrent production of these cellulase free xylanolytic and pectinolytic enzymes. Hence, the quadratic model was developed using the Central Composite Design of Response Surface Method (CCD-RSM). The model gave the concentration values for WB and CP substrates to be amended in one single production medium for obtaining two optimized predicted response values of xylanase activity and pectinase activity units, which were further practically validated for the xylanase and pectinase production responses from the optimized production medium (OPM). These practically obtained response values from OPM were found to be in accordance with a range of 95% predicted intervals (PI) values. These observations verified the validity of the predicted quadratic model from RSM and suggested that both xylanase and pectinase enzymes can be induced concurrently from both of the bacterial strains.

Abstract
Recently more consideration has been given to the use of renewable materials and agricultural residues. Wheat production is increasing yearly and correspondingly, the volume of by-products from the wheat process is increasing, as well. It is important to find the use of the residuals for higher value-added products, and not just for the food industry or animal feed purposes as it is happening now. Agricultural residue of the roller milled wheat grain is a wheat bran description. The low-cost of wheat bran and its composition assortment provides a good source of substrate for various enzymes and organic acids production and other biotechnological applications. The main purpose of this review article is to look into recent trends, developments, and applications of wheat bran.
