Online published on 7 March, 2013. Abstract This paper mainly focused to study and optimizes the parameters like carbon sources, substrate concentration, pH, Temperature for the maximum production of amylase by Aspergillus oryzae MTCC 1847. Different Carbon sources such as Sweet potato, Rice bran and Wheat Bran were to be used as the substrate for the enzyme production. The enzyme activity was observed high when the medium contained Sweet Potato as Carbon substrate with 2% concentration, pH of 6.5, Temperature of 35°C. Top Keywords Sweet potato, Rice Bran, Wheat Bran, Aspergillus oryzae. Top |
