In this study an industrial strain of Aspergillus niger is used for protease production. This strain of A.niger is maintained by following methods such as sub culturing and glycerol stocks. Protease production is through solid state fermentation, growing A.niger on agro-industrial waste such as wheat bran etc. This study includes the optimization of different parameters such as substrates, pH, temperature, moisture %, Diluents etc. Solid state fermentation of A.niger on wheat bran produces maximum enzyme activity (1.210 O.D @660 nm corresponding to 179.86 Units/ml) which is a very high activity as compared to protease activity isolated from bacterial source. Efforts are being made to formulate protease from A.niger for the purpose of poultry feed supplement.
