title: Indigestible dextrin stimulates glucoamylase production in submerged culture of Aspergillus kawachii.
abstract: Submerged batch cultures of Aspergillus kawachii grown on indigestible dextrin were investigated for potential improvements in glucoamylase (GA) production. In flask culture, specific GA productivities per dry weight biomass using dextrin and indigestible dextrin were 11.0 and 56.1 mU/mg-DW, respectively. Indigestible dextrin was a poor substrate for enzymatic hydrolysis. Rates of glucose formation from dextrin and indigestible dextrin by enzymatic hydrolysis were 0.477 and 0.100 mg-glucose/ml/h, respectively. For this reason, residual glucose concentrations in batch cultures grown on indigestible dextrin remained below 1.32 mg/ml where glucose-limiting conditions were easily maintained. Batch culture using indigestible dextrin had the same residual glucose profile as dextrin fed-batch culture, and nearly the same GA activity was obtained after 42.5 h of growth. However, between 42.5 and 66 h, the GA production rate of the indigestible dextrin batch culture (11.5 mU/ml/h) was higher than that of the dextrin fed-batch culture (6.5 mU/ml/h). During this period, a high amount of residual maltooligosaccharide was detected in the culture supernatant grown on indigestible dextrin. The high GA productivity observed in the indigestible dextrin batch culture may have resulted from the absence of glucose and the simultaneous presence of maltooligosaccharides throughout growth.
