Abstract:
Beauveria sp. BTMF S10 isolated from marine sediment produced extracellular L-glutaminase. Maximal L-
glutaminase yield (46.9 U/ml) was obtained in a medium supplemented with 1% (w/v) yeast extract and sorbitol,
9% (w/v) sodium chloride and 0.2% (w/v) methionine, initial pH 9.0 and at 27 °C after 108 h. This enzyme was
inducible and growth-associated.

Abstract:
Process parameters influencing e-glutaminase production by marine Vibrio costicola in solid state fermentation
(SSF) using polystyrene as an inert support were optimised. Maximal enzyme yield (157 U/g dry
substrate) was obtained at 2% (w/w) t:glutamine, 35°C and pH 7.0 after 24 h. Maltose and potassium
dihydrogen phosphate at 1% (w/w) concentration enhanced enzyme yield by 23 and 18%, respectively, while
nitrogen sources had an inhibitory effect. Leachate with high specific activity for glutaminase (4.2 U/mg
protein) and low viscosity (0-966 Ns/m 2) was recovered from the polystyrene SSF system
