Abstract
Phytases or myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.8) are a sub-family of high-molecular weight histidine acid phosphatases, which hydrolyse phytic acid, a major antinutrient factor present in most cereals and legumes. The hydrolysis of phytic acid by phytase results in myo-inositol and phosphoric acid and is an important metabolic process in many biological systems. While phytase can be obtained from a number of sources from Nature, commercially it is produced using microorganisms, which employ two kinds of techniques, solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF). In this paper we attempt to explain application of SSF for phytase production, with work carried out by our group.
