Objective: Xylanase has been involved in many industrial applications especially in the pulp and paper, baking, detergent as well as food and beverage industries. This enzyme is produced by various microorganisms, mainly from fungal species. Therefore, in this study, Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 was investigated for the optimum xylanase production under agitated solid state fermentation (SsF) using different agricultural wastes as alternative inexpensive carbon source.
Methods: A. brasiliensis was cultured in 10 g agricultural waste with addition of 2% yeast extract as the nitrogen source up to 120 h of SsF to elucidate xylanase production. Effect of various agricultural wastes such as wheat bran, rice bran, soybean hulls, barley husk, maize and palm kernel cake (PKC) on xylanase activity were enumerated in a stepwis.. Read More»
