Title

The prediction of results to be obtained while simultaneously producing the inulinase and invertase by Aspergillus niger and Kluyveromyces marxianus, with application of a neural networks technique

Abstract

The objective of this paper was to present how a neural networks technique could be applied to predict the outcomes of a simultaneous production of the inulinase and invertase by Aspergillus niger and Kluyveromyces marxianus, as well as to optimize the conditions of he said production using a batch shaken culture. The inputs of the network represented the quantities of individual components of the medium (NH4NO3, (NH4)2HPO4, KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O, yeast extract, inulin), the type of a microorganism, and the cultivation time, the temperature of enzymes biosynthesis, whereas the outputs represented: the activity of inulinase and the invertase. In experiments with Aspergillus niger and Kluyveromyces marxianus, the content of MgSO4·7H2O and inulin showed the highest effect on the final production result of the two enzymes. The NH4NO3 and the (NH4)2HPO4 were the second important components of the medium. The content of FeSO4·2H2O and KH2PO4 had the lowest significant effect on the production of inulinase and invertase.
