Abstract In the present investigation, dilute sulphuric acid pretreatment conditions were optimized for Saccharum spontaneum through Box–Bhenken design of response surface methodology for cellulase production. Cellulase production was carried out in 250 ml capacity Erlenmeyer flask using pretreated S. spontaneum as substrate by Bacillus subtilis K-18 incubated at 50 °C for 24 h of fermentation period. Results revealed that sulphuric acid followed by steam favored cellulase production as compared to sulphuric acid treatment. Maximum FPase production (1.389 IU/ml/min) was achieved under pretreatment condition of 1% H2SO4 concentration, 10% substrate concentration with residence time of 4 h at room temperature followed by steam at 121 °C for 15 min and 15 psi. The proposed model was found significant as revealed by F value, P value and coefficient of determination. The cellulase produced could effectively hydrolyze pretreated substrate releasing total sugars of 12.71 mg/ml after 20 h of incubation at 50 °C. These results suggested that the enzyme could effectively be used in industrial process especially in biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass.

1 Introduction Cellulases are the enzymes that hydrolyze b-1,4 relations in cellulose series which are produced by plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and protozoans. The catalytic components of cellulases have been categorized into several families on the basis of their amino acid strings and crystal formation (Henrissat 1991). It is a compound enzyme composed of three catalytic subunits that work in synergy to bring about the exchange of cellulose to a monomeric element, glucose that can later be agitated for bioethanol creation. These cellulase factors are endo-1,4-b-glucanase, exo-1,4-b-glucanase, and 1,4-b-D-glucosidase (Bayer et al. 1998; Henrissat 1994). Endo-1,4-b-glucanase (EG), also called endoglucanase, slice erratically intermolecular b-1,4& Muhammad Irfan [email protected]; [email protected] 1

glucosidic relations within the cellulose sequence. The endoglucanases are usually examined by thickness cuts in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) answer. The mode of action of endoglucanases and exoglucanases is different. Endoglucanases reduce the explicit viscosity of CMC appreciably with little hydrolysis due to intramolecular cleavages, while exoglucanases hydrolyze long series from the ends in a development process (Teeri et al. 1998; Zhang and Lynd 2004). The majority ordinary cellulolytic bacteria are Acetivibrio cellulolyticus, Bacillus spp., Cellulomonas spp., Clostridium spp., Erwinia chrysanthemi, Thermobispora bispara, Ruminococcus albus, Streptomyces spp., Thermonospora spp. and Thermobifida fusca (Sadhu and Maiti 2013). Scientifically important enzymes have conventionally been obtained from submerged fermentation (SmF) due to effortlessness of conducting and larger management of ecological issues like temperature and pH. Moreover, solid state fermentation (SSF) method can develop the yield and decrease the price of enzyme fabrication (Ghildyal et al. 1985; Hui et al. 2010). Response surface methodology (RSM) is a mathematical and geometric examination, helpful for representing

and studying crisis where the reaction of attention is prejudiced by several unpredictable. RSM has been used widely for optimizing unusual steps in biotechnological processes and to optimize enzymatic hydrolysis. Box– Behnken design for three changeable at three stages was selected (Ahmed et al. 2012; Li et al. 2007). This study was aimed to optimize the pretreatment conditions for maximum cellulase production from pretreated Saccharum spontaneum under submerged fermentation by Bacillus subtilis K-18 and its application in maximum production of sugars during enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated substrate.

2 Materials and Methods 2.1 Microbial Strain The bacterium B. subtilis K-18 was obtained from Microbial Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, New campus Lahore Pakistan. The culture was maintained on nutrient agar slants and was used for production of cellulase in submerged fermentation.

medium pH of 5 which was autoclaved at 121 °C, for 15 min and 15 psi pressure. After sterilization, the flasks were allowed to cool at room temperature and 2% (v/v) of the vegetative cell culture was transferred aseptically to each of the fermentation flasks. After inoculation, the flasks were incubated at 50 °C with agitation speed of 120 rpm for 24 h of fermentation period. After completion of the fermentation period, the fermented broth was filtered through muslin cloth followed by centrifugation (Kokusan H-1500ER) for 10 min at 10,0009g and 4 °C for the removal of cell mass and unwanted particles. The clear filtrate obtained after centrifugation was used as a crude source of enzyme. Triplicate readings were taken for each of the experiment.

2.5 Experimental Design To optimize different pretreatment conditions for cellulase production, Box–Bhenken design (BBD) was used for optimization study. The independent variables used were H2SO4 concentration (X1), substrate concentration, (X2) and residence time (X3) and their levels are mentioned in Table 1. This design is most suitable for quadratic response surface and generates second-order polynomial regression model. The relation between actual and coded values was described by the following equation; xi ¼

FPase activity (IU)

Xi  Xo ; DXi

ð1Þ

where xi and Xi are the coded and actual values of the independent variable, Xo is the actual value of the independent variable at the center point and DXi is the change of Xi. The response is calculated from the following equation using STATISTICA software (99th edition). Y ¼ b0 þ b1 X1 þ b2 X2 þ b3 X3 þ b11 X12 þ b22 X22 þ b33 X32 þ b12 X1 X2 þ b13 X1 X3 þ b23 X2 X3 ;

ð2Þ

Y is the response, X1, X2 and X3 are the independent variables, b0 is the intercept, b1, b2 and b3 are linear coefficient, b11, b22 and b33 are square coefficients, b12, b13 and b23 are interaction coefficients.

3 Results and Discussion In this study, different pretreatment conditions were applied for maximum cellulase production in submerged fermentation by B. subtilis K-18 using S. spontaneum as substrate. For pretreatment, various concentrations of H2SO4, substrate

concentration and residence time were used in two methods, employing steam and without steam. The enzyme production was calculated by second-order polynomial equations (Eqs. 3–6). Two kinds of pretreatment were performed and highest filter paper activity (1.389 IU/ml/min) was observed under pretreatment condition of 1% H2SO4 concentration, 10% substrate concentration with residence time of 4 h at room temperature followed by steam at 121 °C for 15 min and 15 psi. The results of cellulase production using Box– Bhenken design under two different conditions were mentioned in Tables 2 and 3. Only sulphuric acid treatment yield lower enzyme production as compared to sulphuric acid followed by steam treatment.

substrate for cellulase production due to its high cellulose content as compared to other substrates (Ilyas et al. 2012). The crude cellulase enzyme produced from B. subtilis K-18 under submerged fermentation was applied to hydrolyze the pretreated S. spontaneum. The experiment was conducted for different time intervals to check the maximum production of fermentable sugars. Results (Fig. 3) revealed that maximum total sugars of 12.71 mg/ml were released at 20 h of incubation at 50 °C; after that the sugar production was reduced. Acid steam-treated S. spontaneum yield higher reducing sugar production (0.60 mg/ml) as compared to acid-treated (0.53 mg/ml) S. spontaneum.

Figures 1 and 2 illustrated the contour plots for CMCase and FPase production from H2SO4-treated and H2SO4 followed by steam-treated S. spontaneum. Cellulase production in this study was higher as compared to previous reports. Patagundi et al. (2014) isolated and characterized cellulase producing bacteria from soil and reported that maximum cellulase production was observed by Bacillus cereus (0.440 and 0.410 IU/ml/min), followed by B. subtilis (0.357 IU/ml/min) and Bacillus thuringiensis (0.334 IU/ml/min) using Acacia arabica pod as a substrate in submerged fermentation. Arooj et al. (2017) obtained highest FPase activity using pretreatment conditions of 0.4 N H2SO4, 15% banana peduncle as substrate concentration with residence time of 6 h in chemical treatment using B. subtilis K-18 in submerged fermentation. The highest CMCase production of 1.009 IU/ml/ml was observed by 0.8% H2SO4 followed by steam-treated S. spontaneum and this activity was higher as compared to (Ladeira et al. 2015) who reported CMCase activity of 0.29 U/ml cultivated at 50 °C for 168 h or fermentation using sugarcane bagasse as substrate. Saccharum spontaneum is abundantly available substrate which is potential feed stock used for bioethanol production due to its high cellulose contents (Sharma et al. 2015). Sateesh et al. (2012) reported 0.8 IU/ml of cellulase from dilute acid hydrolyzates of S. spontaneum on fourth day of fermentation by Trichoderma reesei NCIM 992. Saccharum spontaneum was good
