Solid State Fermentation Of Gibberellic Acid By Penicillium Variable: Screening, Optimization And Kinetic Studies

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is one of the family members of gibberellins that have wider applications toward plant growth acceleration. A normal plant can only produce growth hormone in a very small quantity, but with sufficient addition of GA3 could affect the growth development of plant organs....

description Gibberellic acid (GA3) is one of the family members of gibberellins that have wider applications toward plant growth acceleration. A normal plant can only produce growth hormone in a very small quantity, but with sufficient addition of GA3 could affect the growth development of plant organs. A few sources of substrates were evaluated for their capabilities as a growth medium for the production of GA3 in solid state fermentation (SSF). Banana peel (BP) was found as a suitable substrate as it contain higher amount of carbon and lower amount of nitrogen source at 44.85 % ± 0.15 and 12.16 % ± 0.16, respectively. In the present study, sixteen macro- and micro-fungi from different families (Polyporaceae, Coriolaceae, Lentinaceae, Schizophyllaceae, Trichocomaceae, Hypocreaceae, and Moniliaceae) were screened for the production of GA3 using BP as a substrate. It is found that P. variable produced the highest GA3 followed by A. niger, P. simplicissimum and P. spinulosum at 16.25 ± 0.06 mg/kg substrate, 12.45 ± 0.11 mg/kg substrate, 5.56 ± 0.06 mg/kg substrate and 3.90 ± 0.06 mg/kg substrate, respectively.
