Millet Cobs: A Source of Microbial Enzymes
Author(s): Arogunjo AO and Arotupin DJArogunjo AO and Arotupin DJ
Microbial enzymes have significant biotechnological application in industries. The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify microorganisms associated with millet cobs, determine the enzyme activity (lipase, protease, pectinase, cellulase and amylase) of the millet cob samples, screen the isolated microorganisms for enzyme production and determine the physicochemical parameters of the degrading medium. A total of seven bacteria and twelve fungi consisting of yeasts and moulds were isolated during the study. Day 20 of the degradation period has the highest enzyme activity for all the enzymes in the degraded millet cobs; lipase has the highest enzyme activity with a value of 0.496 mg/mL/min while protease has the lowest with a value of 0.003 mg/mL/min. All of the isolated microorganisms exhibited enzymatic activity except Zygosaccharomyces rouxii in which Bacillus .. View More»
