Abstract
Production of proteolytic enzyme in a bubble column bioreactor was car ried out using the microorganism Rhizopus oryzae. Optimization of the production conditions were done adopting the EVOP (evolutionary operat ion technique). Studies on two variable and three variable parameters were carried out. The variable parameters were air flow rate, aeration time and incubation period. 8 hours aeration time per day, 1.66 vvm a ir flow rate and 2 days incubation was found to be optimum.
