OPTIMIZATION OF PROTEASE FROM APERGILLUS NIGER IN SOLID STATE FERMENTATION FOR ENZYMATIC TREATMENT OF AQUACULTURE SLUDGE

Proteases or proteolytic enzymes, has high potential to be applied in wastewater treatment and improve sludge dewatering. Hence, the ultimate aim of this study is to produce and characterize protease from Aspergillus niger under solid-state fermentation (SSF) by utilizing shrimp shell powder as soli...
