L-Glutaminase production by marine vibrio costicola under solid state fermentation

Use of inert supports have been recommended for SSF in on ar to overcome its inherent problems and efforts are being made to search for newer and better materials to act as inert solid supports lidoo et al, 1982; Zhu et al, 1994).In the present study an attempt is made to produce L-glutaminase, which is industrially and therapeutically impo rtant, from marine bacteria under solid state fermentation using natura.l. inert and mixed substrates with a view to develop an ideal bioprocess for its large scale production.
