Nutritional and Ecological Optimizations for Exo-Inulinase Production

Inulinase is an enzyme catalyzing the hydrolysis of inulin, a plant reserve polysaccharide, into fructoses and fructo-oligosaccharides which are widely used in pharmaceutical and food industry. Although several substrates for the production of inulinase have been reported as being economically effective such as utilization of inulin-rich substrate rather than pure inulin, however, there is still need to develop the substrate to make the entire process much cheaper and more effective. Here we reported inulinase production from Acinetobacter as there is not found any report on inulinase production from Acinetobacter.
