Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 STUDY OF FUNGI FROM OIL SEEDS AND THEIR ENZYME ACTIVTY KAZI RUMANA IMTIYAZ AND SUMANTH G. T Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Nine and thirteen fungi were isolated from blotter and agar plate method
respectively from test oil seeds like Groundnut, Mustard, Safflower, Sesame and
Sunflower. The association of Aspergillus niger and Fusarium dimerum is found
maximum in ground nut and mustard respectively from blotter plate method and the
maximum incidence of Aspergillus niger is observed in mustard, ground nut and
sunflower from agar plate method.
The effect of different carbohydrate sources on production of protease and
lipase was studied. The four carbohydrate sources were tested with five fungi which were
isolated from different oil seeds. The activity of protease enzyme is observed maximum in
presence of sucrose by Aspergillus niger and Fusarium dimerum. Curvularia lunata and
Fusarium dimerum had the maximum activity in presence of xylose. The maximum lipase
production was found in Curvularia lunata and Fusarium oxysporum in presence of
maltose and Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus ustus in presence of sucrose. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KAZI RUMANA IMTIYAZ AND SUMANTH G. T, (2013).
