Response surface analysis for the production of an enantioselective lipase from Aspergillus niger by solid-state fermentation

Summary: | The lipase produced by the Aspergillus niger strain AC-54 has been widely studied due to its enantioselectivity for racemic mixtures. This study aimed to optimize the production of this enzyme using statistical methodology. Initially a Plackett-Burman (PB) design was used to evaluate the effects of the culture medium components and the culture conditions. Twelve factors were screened: water content, glucose, yeast extract, peptone, olive oil, temperature, NaH₂PO₄, KH₂PO₄, MgSO₄ㆍ7H₂O, CaCl₂, NaCl, and MnSO₄. The screening showed that the significant factors were water content, glucose, yeast extract, peptone, NaH₂PO₄, and KH₂PO₄, which were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and a mathematical model obtained to explain the behavioral process. The best lipase activity was attained using the following conditions: water content (20%), glucose (4.8%), yeast extract (4.0%), and NaH₂PO₄ (4.0%). The predicted lipase activity was 33.03 U/ml and the experimental data confirmed the validity of the model. The enzymatic activity was expressed as A mu moles of oleic acid released per minute of reaction (μmol/min). |
