Efficient production of xylanase enzyme by fungal species using low cost agro–industrial substrates

M. R. Ingle

Abstract :

Xylanase enzyme production has been reported in several microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. Filamentous fungi are unique for extracellular enzyme production and ease of cultivation. Fungal isolates were obtained from decomposing saw dust and screened for their abilities for producing xylanase enzyme by using Remazole Brilliant Blue R–D–xylan dye diffusion method. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Chrysosporium sp., Fusarium moniliforme and Penicillium sp. showed positive results. These fungal strains were employed further for production of xylanase enzyme. Submerged fermentation was carried out under varying pH of culture media and different agro–industrial substrates as carbon source. Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus showed maximum xylanase enzyme production at pH5 (204.686 U/mL and 320.985 U/mL respectively). Aspergillus terreus produced maximum xylanase (2095.71 U/mL) when sugarcane bagasse was used as a sole carbon source in the culture medium
