constitutive or inducible, showing different<br />

production patterns (7). Phenolic compounds<br />

such as gallic acid, pyrogallol, methyl gallate <strong>and</strong><br />

tannic acid are inducers <strong>of</strong> tannase synthesis<br />

(40).<br />

Tannases are produced <strong>and</strong> optimized by<br />

various techniques such as submerged<br />

fermentation (7, 82), solid state fermentation (83)<br />

<strong>and</strong> liquid surface fermentation (1, 40). All the<br />

above processes have their own advantages <strong>and</strong><br />

disadvantages over other fermentation methods.<br />

Submerged Fermentation (SmF) <strong>of</strong> Tannase:<br />

The industrial production <strong>of</strong> enzymes is mainly<br />

performed under SmF. Use <strong>of</strong> SmF is<br />

advantageous because <strong>of</strong> ease <strong>of</strong> sterilization<br />

<strong>and</strong> easier process control during fermentation<br />

(36). Tannic acid has been reported as an inducer<br />

for tannase synthesis under SmF <strong>and</strong> SSF, but<br />

at higher concentrations, it repressed tannase<br />

synthesis under SmF (59). An example <strong>of</strong><br />

tannase production by SmF with A. niger HA37<br />

on four-fold diluted olive mill waste (OMW) water<br />

as substrate was studied by Aissam et al. (84).<br />

Lekha <strong>and</strong> Lonsane (1) mentioned that A. niger<br />

has the ability to produce both extra <strong>and</strong><br />

intracellular tannase in semisolid medium <strong>and</strong><br />

the higher intracellular enzyme accumulation is<br />

due to the non-fragile nature <strong>of</strong> the cell wall or<br />

synthesis <strong>of</strong> enzyme occurring as integral<br />

membrane protein (85).<br />

Tannic acid acts as sole carbon <strong>and</strong> energy<br />

source, so the concentration <strong>of</strong> tannic acid in<br />

production medium is a crucial factor for microbial<br />

growth <strong>and</strong> tannase induction (13, 51). Maximum<br />

intracellular <strong>and</strong> extracellular enzyme synthesis<br />

occurred below 1% (w/v) <strong>of</strong> glucose in medium<br />

containing tannic acid but higher concentration<br />

<strong>of</strong> glucose repressed enzyme production (82). It<br />

has been reported that tannase is produced<br />

during the primary phase <strong>of</strong> growth in SmF <strong>and</strong>
