A novel mixed substrate solid-state fermentation (SSF) process has been developed for Aspergillus niger MTCC 2594 using wheat bran (WB) and gingelly oil cake (GOC) and the results showed that addition of GOC to WB (WB : GOC, 3 : 1, w/w) increased the lipase activity by 36.0% and the activity was 384.3+/-4.5 U/g dry substrate at 30 degrees C and 72 h. Scale up of lipase production to 100 g and 1 kg tray-level batch fermentation resulted in 95.0% and 84.0% of enzyme activities respectively at 72 h. A three-stage multiple contact counter-current extraction yielded 97% enzyme recovery with a contact time of 60 min. However, extraction by simple percolation and plug-flow methods resulted in decreased enzyme recoveries. The mixed substrate SSF process has resulted in a significant increase in specific activity (58.9%) when compared to a submerged fermentation (SmF) system. Furthermore, an efficient process of extraction has been standardized with this process. Use of GOC along with WB as potential raw materials for enzyme production could be of great commercial significance. This is the first report on the production and extraction of lipase from Aspergillus niger using mixed solid substrates, WB and GOC, which are potential raw materials for the production of enzymes and other value-added products.
