Abstract:
Marine fungi remain totally unexplored as a source of industrial enzyme
and prospective applications. Further tannase production by a marine organism has
so far not been established. The primary objective of this study included the
evaluation of the potential of Aspergillus awamori isolated from sea water as part
of an earlier study and available in the culture collection of the Microbial
technology laboratory for tannase production through different fermentation
methods, optimization of bioprocess variables by statistical methods, purification
and characterization of the enzyme, genetic study, and assessment of its potential applications.
