Utilization of raw materials from agroindustry - sugar cane juice and yeast extract - for asparaginase production by Zymomonas mobilis CP4.

摘要

Sugar cane juice and yeast extract have been used for asparaginase production by Z. mobilis CP4. A complete factorial design of two variables (yeast extract and asparagin) at three levels (1.0; 5.5 and 10.0 g/L) with one replication at the central point was used. Batch fermentation utilised sugar cane juice diluted at 8% (W/V) of Total Sugars and an inoculum of 2 mg of cells/mL. After fermentation time of 18 hours, the highest production of asparaginase was 9.75 U/L using both yeast extract (5.5 g/L) and asparagin (1.0 g/l).
