Abstract:

This study aimed at investigating the optimal fermentation conditions of Penicillium funiculosum for producing dextranase. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were dextran and peptone, respectively. The orthogonal array optimization showed that the optimal fermentation conditions of Penicillium funiculosum were as follows: the volume of the medium contained in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 80 mL; medium initial pH 5.5; and fermentation temperature 28 ℃, and the resultant dextranase was 18.963 U/mL under these conditions.

Key words: dextranase, Penicillium funiculosum, orthogonal array design
