Abstract
Among about 200 Rhizopus strains isolated in Thailand, Rhizopus sp. MB46 was selected as a producer of raw cassava starch-digestive glucoamylase. Rice bran was effective for the enzyme production in a solid culture as well as wheat bran. Addition of turpentine oil into the rice bran solid culture increased the productivity. Rhizopus sp. MB46 was found to produce glucoamylase in a liquid culture containing 1% rice bran but not in one consisting of 10% raw cassava starch of 2% glucose. The productivity per 1 g solids in the medium in liquid culture was finally improved 6-times by utilization of n-hexane-treated rice bran, supplement of 0.1% meat extract and addition of gauze as a support. The activity was superior to that in turpentine oil-supplemented solid culture.
