Abstract
The present study aims at fabrication and evaluation of 500L capacity fermentor for the production of ligno-cellulolytic enzymes using biodigested slurry as a substrate. The biodigested slurry has tremendous potential for the production of value added products, as it is rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Enzyme production studies were carried out in fermentor utilizing two different fungal cultures namely Humicola fuscoatra MTCC 1409 and Aspergillus spp. The maximum versatile peroxidase activity of 0.204 Uml-1 and 0.140 Uml-1 was observed in H. fuscoatra MTCC 1409 and Aspergillus spp. after 6th and 8th day of fermentation, respectively. Maximum laccase activity of 0.045 Uml-1 was observed in Aspergillus spp. after 8th day of fermentation. Similarly, highest cellobiase activity of 47 Uml-1 was observed was observed in Aspergillus spp. after 6th day of fermentation.
