TL;DR: Yeast extract, beef extract and xylan enhanced enzyme production, while glucose, lactose and fructose strongly repressed the production process.

TL;DR: The addition of 6% (w/w) methanol into the substrate increased the concentration of citric acid from 176 to 264 g kg−1 dry pod, and the maximum citricacid concentration was obtained at a particle size of 0.5 mm.

TL;DR: The antibiotic production was consistent with the morphogenesis of S. viridifaciens: activity could be detected on the third day, had the maximal potency on the sixth day, and decreased slightly on the tenth day.
Abstract: For saving energy in antibiotic production and reducing the amount of agricultural wastes, solid state fermentation was used in this study to produce tetracycline with sweet potato residue by Streptomyces viridifaciens ATCC 11989. It was found that the optimal media for tetracycline production were sweet potato residue 100 g, organic nitrogen (rice bran, wheat bran, or peanut meal) 20 g, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) 2.4 g, KH(2)PO(4) 0.4 g, CaCO(3) 1.8 g, NaCl 0.6 g, MgCl(2) 0.8 g, soluble starch 10 g, methionine 0.2 g, histidine 0.8 g, and monosodium glutamate 1.6 g with initial moisture content 68-72%, and initial pH 5.8-6.0. Each gram of dry weight substrate was inoculated with 1.0 x 10(8) conidia and incubated at 26 degrees C for 5-7 days, producing 4720 mug of total tetracycline equivalent potency. When incubated at 26 degrees C with the initial moisture content 68%, the conidia in solid media germinated on the second day, mycelia grew abundantly on the third day and reached stationary phase on the sixth day. The antibiotic production was consistent with the morphogenesis of S. viridifaciens: activity could be detected on the third day, had the maximal potency on the sixth day, and decreased slightly on the tenth day.

TL;DR: Response surface methodology was employed to optimize mixed substrate solid state fermentation for the production of cellulases and xylanase by Aspergillus fumigatus ABK9 to increase brightness of waste office paper pulp and decrease the kappa number.

TL;DR: Streptomyces sp.
Abstract: Streptomyces sp. 7b showed highest xylanase activity among 41 bacterial isolates screened under submerged fermentation. The organism grew over broad pH (5-11) and temperatures range (25-55 degrees C) and displayed maximum xylanase production on wheat bran (1230 U/g) under solid-state fermentation. Xylanase production was enhanced substantially (76%-77%) by inclusion of trypton (2180 U/g) or beef extract (2170 U/g) and moderately (36%-46%) by yeast extract (1800 U/g) or soybean meal (1670 U/g). Inclusion of readily utilizable sugars such as glucose, maltose, fructose, lactose or xylose in the substrate repressed the xylanase production. The optimum initial pH of the medium for maximum enzyme production was 7 to 8; however, appreciable level of activity was obtained at pH 6 (1,680 U/g) and 9 (1,900 U/g). Most appropriate solid to liquid ratio for maximum xylanase production in solid-state fermentation was found to be 1:2.5. The organism produced a single xylanase of molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa as analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after purification with ammonium sulfate precipitation, and carboxy methyl sephadex chromatography. The enzyme was purified to the extent of 5.68-fold by salt precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography. Optimum temperature and pH for maximum xylanase activity were 50 degrees C and 6, respectively.
