Extra- and intracellular tannase production by Aspergillus niger GH1 has been evaluated using submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) at different temperatures (30, 40 and 50 degrees C). Effects of initial substrate (tannic acid) concentration, incubation time and temperature on tannase production in SSF have been studied. A. niger GH1 produced the highest tannase level (2291 U/L) in SSF at 30 degrees C during the first 20 h of culture at tannic acid concentration of 50 g/L, and under these conditions enzyme production was entirely extracellular. The decline in tannase activity after 20 h of incubation was associated with a concomitant increase in protease activity.
