Optimization of Culture Conditions for Some Identified Fungal Species and Stability Profile of 𝜶-Galactosidase Produced

Table 1

Effect of different carbon sources on the activity of 𝛼-galactosidase secreted on the seventh day by different fungal strains.

Culture media (50 mL)	𝛼-galactosidase activity (U/mL) secreted by different fungal strains
Carbon sources (1%, w/v)	AL-3	WF-3	WP-4	CL-4
Guar gum (GG)	190.3±8.09	174.5±7.75	93.9±5.53	28.8±2.34
Wheat straw (WS)	41.5±4.75	30.83±3.32	59.1±3.12	6.2±0.37
Soya casein (SC)	63.5±3.87	14.5±0.76	37.4±2.98	4.2±0.21

The different fungal strains were inoculated into standardised culture medium containing different substrates, and the activity of 𝛼-galactosidase secreted into the culture filtrate was measured at the seventh day as described in Section 2. The results are presented as the mean value ± SD of three independent experiments.
