AnAspergillus sp., isolated from a rubbish dump, produced 10.6 IU ml(-1) xylanase activity. Two xylanases were recognized and each was purified to homogeneity by two-stage chromatography on DEAE-and CM-Sepharose. Xylanase I had a pI of 7.2 and anM r of 26 kDa whereas xylanase II had a pI of 4.7 and anM r of 21 kDa. At 50°C, xylanase I was stable for 2.5 h but xylanase II was only stable for 1 h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
