Abstract

Lactic acid fermentation has been studied as an alternative method of chitin recovery from the natural chitin compounds, such as shrimp waste. The purpose of this research was to identify a potential lactic acid bacterium which can produce large amount of lactic acid and has the ability to release chitin (demineralization) from shrimp-shell-waste. Among 11 bacteria tested, strain 15 was the strongest lactic acid producer yielding 1.09% (v/v) lactic acid in the media with a pH of 4.15 after 6 days incubation at 37 oC. After that, strains 17 and 23 produced 0.79 and 0.74% of lactic acid respectively. These three strains were selected for further experiments on various kinds of media using two-day incubation periods. No strains produced lactic acid well in MRS media containing lactose. The best medium for lactic acid production by strains 15 and 17 was MRS containing glucose, molasses or mixture of molasses and shrimp shell waste. Fermentation of shrimp shell waste using strain 15 caused an increase of viscosity reflecting an increase of soluble chitin in the media..

Abstract

Bacillus sp. AQ-1 was isolated from household aquarium sediment. The isolate produced extracellular xylanolytic enzymes on xylan containing agar medium. Based on morphological, and physiological analysis, the isolate was identified as Bacillus sp. AQ1. The effect of temperature and pH on isolate growth and xylanase production were observed. The best condition observed for the enzyme production in Luria Broth supplemented with 0.5% oat spelt xylan medium was at 40 °C pH 7. The maximum enzyme production was 0.23 U mL-1 after 20 h of fermentation. Two different medium compositions (A and B) were examined for xylanase production. The maximum growth of the isolate and the xylanase production was better in A medium. Replacing oat spelt xylan in medium A with fruitless oil palm bunch in the medium caused the growth slightly slower than that of in the original formula. However, the xylanase production was 3 times higher in fruitless oil palm bunch medium. Optimum activity of the crude enzyme was observed at 60 °C and pH 7. Each ml of the crude enzyme contained 55.21 U xylanase, 8.12 U amylase and 0.50 U carboxymethylcellulase

Abstract

Xylanase (endoxylanase, EC 3.2.1.8) is a commercial enzyme that has been applied in the industrial production of fuel, food, textiles and paper. Xylanase was isolated from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. AQ-1 grown on Nakamura medium containing 0.5% powder bunch palm oil. The optimum pH and temperature of xylanase activity were pH 7.0 and 60 °C, respectively. The enzyme was purified by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sepharose-Fast-Flow column and gel filtration chromatography using Sephacryl S-300 column. The results showed that purification of xylanase produced two forms of xylanase, which were identified as xylanase A and xylanase B. Xylanase A can be separated from xylanase B by ultrafiltration using a 30 kDa polyethersulfone membrane. The molecular weight of xylanase A and B were 15.7 and 57.7 kDa, respectively.

Abstract

Chitin extraction from shrimp shells involves two processing steps that are demineralization followed by deproteination process. Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC 116 and Bacillus licheniformis F11.1 were used in demineralization and deproteination respectively. The overall objectives of this experiment were to determine fermentation systems which resulted in the highest mineral and protein removal. The demineralization experiments consisted of three different batch fermentation designs: batch fermentation (Am ); subsequent batch fermentation 1, in which 100% medium was replaced with fresh medium after 24 h fermentation (Bm ); and subsequent batch fermentation 2, in which 50% medium was replaced with the same amount of fresh medium after 24 h fermentation (Cm ). The demineralization was conducted at 30±2 °C, 50 rpm for 60 h. The deproteination experiments consisted of 3 different batch fermentation designs: batch fermentation 1, inoculum was added once at the beginning of the fermentation (A p); batch fermentation 2, inoculum was added twice, at the beginning and after 24 h fermentation (Bp ); and subsequent batch fermentation, 100% medium was replaced with fresh medium after 24 h fermentation (Cp ). The deproteination was carried out at 55 °C, pH 7.8-8.0, aeration 2.3 vvm, and agitation 275 rpm for 96 h. The experimental results showed that in the demineralization process, fermentation design B gave the highest ash removal. Ash removed in the fermentation design A , B , and C was 97.19, 99.69, and 97.69%, respectively. The protein removed in the fermentation design A , B , and C was 94.42, 94.51, and 95.37%, respectively.
