The present study is aimed at simultaneous cellulase synthesis and coir pith degradation by Aspergillus nidulans using coir pith as chief substrate. The lignocellulosic biomass, coir pith is known to be an excellent carbon source for microbial cellulase production under solid state fermentation. The alkali pretreatment with sodium hydroxide was seen to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis. The effect of coir pith weight, moisture content, initial pH and growth temperature on cellulase activity and yield were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM) employing a four-factor-five-level central composite design (CCD). The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of coir pith showed structural changes through pretreatment, in favor of enzymatic hydrolysis. Maximum carboxy methyl cellulase activity (CMCase) of 28.64 U/g and cellulase yield of 66.32% were achieved with 8 g coir pith at 70% moisture content and 40 degrees C temperature with pH 5 as evident from run numbers 25 and 30. Filter paper (FPase) and cellobiase (CBase) activities of 10.23 U/g and 4.31 U/g respectively were observed on the 11th day after the inoculation. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
