Abstract
Optimization of conditions for acid protease production by solid substrate fermentation in the laboratory scale using Monascus mica var rubellus 102 BIOTECH 3064 was done. Optimum acid protease production was obtained in rice bran, with initial pH of 2-6 (0.025 M citrate - 0.050 M phosphate buffer), 5% (v/v) inoculum level, at 27 - 30 0 C (RT), and for an incubation time of 4 days. Comparison of acid protease production in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and 3 1 enamelled trays by solid substrate fermentation was also done using the optimized conditions obtained. Results showed that acid protease activity was higher in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks than in 3 I enamelled trays (0.721 vs. 0.418 U/mg protein respectively).
