ISOLATION, SCREENING AND PRODUCTION OF XYLANASE FROM ASPERGILLUS SP

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recently, xylanases have expanded their use in many processing industries, such as pulp and paper, food and textile to newer needs such as biofuel production.This study investigates the production of extracellular xylanase synthesis were carried out by using Aspergillus sp. were evaluated under different fermentation parameters by employing submerged fermentation method. The xylanase producers detected by the enzyme hydrolytic zone around the colony by simple plate assay method. Aspergillus sp. 05 is the potential strain among the fungal isolates. The xylanase synthesis were increased their yield after the optimization of fermentation parameters. The optimum pH 6.0, temperature 30 º C and inoculum size 0.75 ml and it showed 5.53 IU
