Article Abstract
Background: Phytic acid acts as anti-nutritional factor in food and feed ingredients for monogastric animals as they lack phytases.
Objective: Phytase production by Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 was studied in solid-state fermentation and its applicability in dephytinization of food.
Methods: Bacterial culture was grown in solid state fermentation using wheat bran and various culture conditions were optimized using 'One variable at a time' (OVAT) approach. Effects of different substrates (wheat bran, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse), incubation time (24, 48, 72 and 96 h), incubation temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40°C), pH (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0) and moisture content (1:1.5, 1:2.0, 1:2.5 and 1:3) were studied on phytase production. Bacterial phytase was used in dephytinization of food samples.
Results: Optimization of phytase production was studied in solid state fermentation (SSF) using 'One variable at a time' (OVAT) approach. Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 grew well in various agroresidues in SSF and secreted high enzyme titres using wheat bran at 30°C and pH 5.0 after incubation time of 48 h with substrate to moisture ratio of 1:3. Glucose and ammonium sulphate supplementation to wheat bran further enhanced phytase production in SSF. Optimization of phytase production resulted in 2.4-fold improvement in phytase production in solid state fermentation. The enzyme resulted in dephytinization of wheat and rice flours with concomitant release of inorganic phosphate, reducing sugar and soluble protein.
Conclusion: Optimization resulted in 2.34-fold enhancement in phytase production by bacterial culture that showed dephytinization of food ingredients with concomitant release of nutritional components. Therefore, phytase of B. subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 could find application in improving nutritional quality of food and feed of monogastric animals.

Phytic acid is a phosphorylated derivative of myo-inositol that is ubiquitous in plants and serves as the primary storage form of phosphorus. In human nutrition, phytic acid is considered an anti-nutrient because it chelates essential minerals, including calcium, iron, and zinc. This binding action reduces the bioavailability of these metals, highlighting the importance of monitoring phytic acid in food.

Soil functions as the active force managing diverse biogeochemical processes in tropical forest ecosystems, including storing and recycling nutrients and decomposing organic matter. Anthropogenic activities, mainly deforestation on charcoal production, have substantially disrupted these processes, leading to notable changes in microbial activities, enzyme functions, and the availability and soil nutrient status of the derived savannah in southwestern Nigeria. While there is increasing recognition of charcoal's impact on soil properties, there remains a noticeable research gap in understanding its specific effects on some associated soil microbial properties, soil enzymes, and micronutrients in charcoal production sites.

Phytate is an anti-nutrient factor that chelates micronutrients, thereby reducing their bioavailability and impairing nutrient absorption in humans and animals. This study aimed to isolate and assess potential probiotic yeast strains with phytase capability from Thai traditional fermentation starters. Three yeast isolates revealed antagonistic activity against pathogenic bacteria in preliminary probiotic screening and demonstrated phytate-degrading capabilities through phytase activity.
