Production and characterization of thermostable xylanases by Thermomyces lanuginosus and Thermoascus aurantiacus grown on lignocelluloses

Bioprocessing of Agricultural Residuals for the Optimum Production of Extracellular Xylanase by Aspergillus brasiliensis in Solid State Fermentation (SsF)

“…Additionally, they also found that wheat bran supplemented medium yielded the highest xylanase activity of 9.5 U/mL compared to 9.2 and 8.9 U/mL by Aspergillus flavus DFR-6 using oat bran and pineapple peel, respectively. Similar results were also observed by Alam et al [16]. They investigated xylanase production by Thermomyces lanuginosus and Thermoascus aurantiacus using various agricultural extracts such as wheat bran, rice bran and sugarcane bagasse, respectively.…”

“…8) Depending on its botanical origin, xylan can possess a number of sidelinked groups, comprised of acetyl, arabinofuranosyl, and glucuronosyl residues. 9) Thermophilic Thermomyces lanuginosus has demonstrated growth on a variety of carbon sources, with an optimum growth temperature of [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] C, [10][11][12] and is particularly noted for its inability to produce cellulase. 13) Compared to those from mesophilic sources, enzymes from thermophiles tend to be more thermostable, a characteristic believed to be achieved through minor alterations in protein structure.…”

“…These enzymes have potential applications in paper, detergent, drug and food industries [11]. With better understanding of enzyme activity mechanisms new potential industrial applications have emerged [1,5]. For instance, a recent fi nding has shown that xylanases can be used in organic solvent solutions; greatly expanding the potential applications and economic impact of biocatalysis [15,26].…”
