Utilization of agro industrial waste for production of protease by Fusariumoxysporum in solid state fermentation

Rupali R. Deshmukh, N. N. Vidhale

Abstract :

Agro industrial wastes constitute valuable source for microbial cultivation and enzyme production. Five agro–industrial wastes such as dal mill waste, oil mill waste, molasses, fruit waste and vegetable garbage were employed as substrates for the production of protease by Fusariumoxysporum. Protease enzyme was estimated after every 24 hrs of incubation which indicates the maximum protease production after 7 days of incubation in all the five agro industrial wastes. However dal mill wastes, oil mill waste, molasses, and vegetable garbage were favored most and showed production of almost similar amount of enzyme than in the fruit waste.
