Maximum phytase activity (41.47 IU/mL at pH 2.5 and 10.71 IU/mL at pH 4.0) was obtained when dextrin was used as carbon source along with glucose and sodium nitrate as nitrogen source. Nearly 13 times increase in phytase activity was observed when phosphate in the form of KH2PO4 (0.004 g/100 mL) was added in the fermentation medium. Physic-chemical properties of partially purified enzyme indicate the possibility of two distinct forms of phytases, Phy I and Phy II. Optimum pH and temperature for Phy I was 2.5 and 60 degrees C while Phy II was 4.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. Phy I was stable in the pH range 1.5-3.5 while Phy II was stable in the wider pH range, 2.0-7.0. Molecular weight of Phy I and Phy II on Sephacryl S-200 was approximately 304 kDa and 183 kDa, respectively. Phy I activity was moderately stimulated in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions and inhibited by Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions while Phy II activity was moderately stimulated by Fe3+ ions and was inhibited by Hg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ ions at 1 mM concentration in reaction mixture. The Km for Phy I and II was 3.18 and 0.514 mM while Vmax was 331.16 and 59.47 mu mols/min/mg protein, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.532</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhavsar, Kavita P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shah, Parin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Sarvesh Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khire, Jayant Malhar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of pretreatment of agriculture residues on phytase production by aspergillus niger NCIM 563 under submerged fermentation conditions</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">African Journal of Biotechnology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agriculture residue</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aspergillus niger</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">phytate degradation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poultry feed supplement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Submerged fermentation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACADEMIC JOURNALS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P O BOX 5170-00200 NAIROBI, VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS 73023, NIGERIA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1101-1106</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The extracellular phytase production by Aspergillus niger NCIM 563 was evaluated in medium containing various agriculture residues under submerged fermentation conditions. Phytase production was affected by inorganic phosphate content of agriculture residues which ranged from 2.8 to 8 mg/g. The agriculture residues containing less than 4 mg/g inorganic phosphate supported phytase production with maximum activity of 68 IU/ml in medium containing 1% rice bran on 11(th) day of fermentation. Addition of glucose up to 5% in fermentation medium containing 1% rice bran, enhanced phytase production. Pretreatment of agriculture residues with water to remove excess inorganic phosphate has significantly enhanced the phytase activity in case of de-oiled rice bran, wheat bran, peanut cake (low and high oil) and coconut cake. Maximum increase of 20.3 times in phytase activity was observed in case of wheat bran as compared to de-oiled rice bran, coconut cake, peanut cake high and low oil in which the increase in phytase activity was 6.85, 6.1, 5.3 and 3.0 times, respectively. Maximum phytase activity of 68 IU/ml was produced on the 11(th) day of fermentation compared to earlier reported 41.47 IU/ml phytase activity on the 15(th) day of submerged fermentation using 5% dextrin and 2.5% glucose, thus increasing productivity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.44</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
