Fodder radish cake (Raphanus sativus L.) as an alternative biomass for the production of cellulases and xylanases in solid-state cultivation
Abstract Fodder radish (FR) is an oilseed crop with a high potential for biodiesel production due to its high productivity and the quality of its seed oil. FR oil extraction results in a residue that is rich in protein and fiber. In this study, FR cake (FRC) was evaluated as carbon and nitrogen source for the production of cellulases and xylanases using Penicillium echinulatum S1M29 during solid-state cultivation. It was determined that it is possible to partially replace wheat bran (WB) by FRC, resulting in 24.22 ± 0.25U/g Filter Paper Activity (144 hours), 210.5 ± 5.8U/g endoglucanase activity (144 hours), 22.62 ± 0.01U/g (-glucosidase activity (96 hours) and 784.7 ± 70.19U/g xylanase activity (120 hours). These values are equal or higher than the enzymatic activity obtained using WB. These results may contribute to the reduction of the cost of enzymes used in the production of cellulosic ethanol or other biotechnological applications.
