Abstract:

The formation and regeneration of the protoplast from Asperigillus niger with high yield of acid-stable α-amylase was Optimized using single factor experiments, Plackett-Burman design and response surface method. The optimum conditions for protoplast formation and regeneration were as follows: A. niger aged at 72h, spore concentration at 7.5×106 CFU/mL, hydrolysis with 10 g/L snailase, 10 g/L cellulose and 10 g/L lysozyme under 37℃, pH 6.8 for 2 h, and 0.85 mol/L mannitol for stabilization of osmotic pressure. At this condition, the rate of protoplast formation and regeneration reached 86.92% and 42.67 %, rescpectively.

Key words: protoplast, acid-stable α-amylase, Aspergilli niger, response surface methodology, formation, regeneration
