ABSTRACT

Growth and enzymes production by Aspergillus flavipes FP-500 were evaluated on pectin, polygalacturonic acid, galacturonic acid, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, glycerol and glucose at different initial pH values. We found that the strain produced exopectinases, endopectinases and pectin lyases. Exopectinases and pectin lyase were found to be produced at basal levels as constitutive enzymes and their production was modulated by the available carbon source and pH of culture medium and stimulated by the presence of inducer in the culture medium. Endo-pectinase was basically inducible and was only produced when pectin was used as carbon source. Our results suggest that pectinases in A. flavipes FP-500 are produced in a concerted way. The first enzyme to be produced was exopectinase followed by Pectin Lyase and Endo-pectinase.


Avaliou-se o crescimento e a produção de enzimas por Aspergillus flavipes FP-500 em pectina, ácido poligalacturônico, ácido galacturônico, arabinose, ramnose, xilose, glicerol e glicose, em diferentes valores de pH inicial. Verificamos que a cepa produziu exopectinases, endopectinases e pectina liases. Exopectinases e pectina liases foram produzidas em níveis basais como enzimas constitutivas e sua produção foi modulada pela fonte de carbono disponível e pelo pH do meio de cultura e estimulada pela presença de indutores no meio de cultura. Endopectinase foi indutível e produzida somente quando pectina foi utilizada como fonte de carbono. Nossos resultados sugerem que as pectinases de A. flavipes FP-500 são produzidas de forma planejada. A primeira enzima a ser produzida foi expopectinase, seguida por pectina liase e endopectinase.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this work was to describe growth dynamics, substrate depletion and polygalacturonases production by Aspergillus flavipes FP-500 in batch cultures by means of unstructured models. The microorganism was cultivated on several mono- di- and poly- saccharides, and then the culture development modeled with Monod and Leudeking-Piret equations. The kinetic parameters related to the models (µmax, ãx/s, alpha and beta) were obtained by minimizing the quadratic residuals function with a simplex algorithm. An accurate description of experimental data was attained with the proposed models. Besides, modeling provided significant kinetic information on microbial degradation of complex substrates, such as the correlation between specific growth rate µmax and production yield á, suggesting that A. flavipes FP-500 polygalacturonases are actually constitutive, but also that there is a certain degree of induciblility in these enzymatic activities.
