Question

Aspergillase enzyme production by plant s

Answer 1

Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae were co-cultivated with each other and with Magnaporthe grisea or Phanerochaete chrysosporium, respectively. Enzyme assays for plant polysaccharide and lignin-degrading enzymes showed that co-cultivation can improve extracellular enzyme production. Highest β-glucosidase, α-cellobiohydrolase, β-galactosidase, and laccase activities were found for A. oryzae in combination with other fungi, in particular with P. chrysosporium. Highest β-xylosidase activity was obtained when A. niger was co-cultivated with P. chrysosporium. SDS-PAGE protein profiles demonstrated that A. niger and A. oryzaecontributed most to the overall enzyme activities found in the culture medium of the mixed cultivations. These data demonstrate that co-cultivation of two major industrial fungi, A. niger and A. oryzae, results in improved production of biotechnologically 

Answer 2

Hello dear,

● Answer -

Aspergillase enzyme is produced by plants of Aspergillus species.

● Aspergillus -

• Aspergillus is a comensal fungus in our respiratory system.

• Different species of Aspergillus produce different enzymes.

• Enzymes produced by Aspergillus niger - pectinase & protease.
• Enzymes produced by Aspergillus oryzae - alpha-amylase & protease.

Hope this helps you. Keep asking questions..
