An experiment has been carried out by using Jatropha curcas solid waste as
substrate for fermentation with Aspergillus niger. Enzyme production from the
fermentation activities and the toxicity level i.e. phorbol ester contents of the
biomass were determined. The results suggested that the utilization of Jatropha
solid waste as substrate for enzyme production could be an alternative in
replacing its traditional used as fodder or fertilizer especially when there is no
practical way for its detoxification
