Abstract: The production of acidic β-mannanase was studied by solid state fermentation with the strain Aspergillus usamii YL-01-78.The optimal koji plate fermentation conditions were as follows: the ratio of water to dry medium 1.4:1, initial pH natural and inoculum size 10%(related to dry medium). With these conditions, the acidic β-mannanase activity reached 3183IU/g dry medium at 31℃ for 72h by adding water and turning koji. The optimal temperature and pH for β-mannanase reaction were 70℃ and 3.5 respectively. The enzyme shows a high stability at pH5.0~8.0 and below 60℃. The enzyme activity is stimulated by Ca2+ and EDTA and inhibited by Mn2+, Pb2+, Sn2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Al3+ and Fe2+.
