Xylanase production by Xylaria primorskensis in static and submerged fermentation conditions

Dr. Mohd Adnan

Abstract :

Fungi are well known and most promising microbes for their ability to produce extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. Xylanases are the group of enzymes that involved in hydrolyse of xylans, a major constituent of hemicelluloses and have various biotechnological applications. In the present study, Xylaria primorskensis (X. primorskensis) screened for xylanase producing ability. It was showing highest xylanase activity (0.398 U/ml) in first week of submerged condition. Comparative study showed that submerged condition was more suitable than static fermentation condition. Based on the results of culture conditions and xylanase activity, X. primorskensis was considered as a potential candidate for large scale xylanase production and its use in biotechnological processes.
