Indigenous fungal strains isolation and molecular identification from coffee pulp for the production of pectic oligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT: Coffee pulp (CP) is a significant agro-industrial waste generated during coffee bean processing, which possess substantial environmental contamination and is rich in pectin. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the conversion of pectin extracted from coffee pulp into pectic oligosaccharides (POS) using native microbial strains. The study aimed to optimize the growing conditions, including temperature, time, and pectin concentration, to assess the productivity of pectinase. Two fungal strains that exhibited the highest growth on CP were isolated and subsequently identified as Aspergillus fumigatus P-1007 and A. fumigatus HA1, employing 5.8S rRNA gene sequencing. The optimization of temperature for the organism was carried out between 25 and 45 °C; compared to
