Improved saccharification of steam-exploded Pinus radiata on supplementing crude extract of Penicillium sp.


ABSTRACT: Commercially available enzymes do not contain all the necessary softwood-specific accessory enzymes to obtain high saccharification efficiency. In this work, six saprophytic fungi obtained from Pinus radiata plantation site were screened for the putative softwood-specific accessory enzyme, β-mannanase. A Penicillium sp. was found to produce β-mannanase in both solid (31.6 units/g of dry biomass) and liquid (117 units/g of dry biomass) cultures using locust bean gum as an inducer after 2 weeks of incubation. The saccharification of steam-exploded Pinus radiata was 7.8 % w/w improved when the crude extract of Penicillium sp. was added to a mixture of commercial enzymes.
