Xylanase and ?-xylosidase production byAspergillus ochraceus during growth on lignocelluloses

Xylanase and β-xylosidase production by Aspergillus ochraceus: new perspectives for the application of wheat straw autohydrolysis liquor.

The xylanase biosynthesis is induced by its substrate-xylan. The high xylan content in some wastes such as wheat residues (wheat bran and wheat straw) makes them accessible and cheap sources of inducers to be mainly applied in great volumes of fermentation, such as those of industrial bioreactors. Thus, in this work, the main proposal was incorporated in the nutrient medium wheat straw particle...

Inhibitory Effect of Essential Oils on Aspergillus ochraceus Growth and Ochratoxin A Production

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin which is a common contaminant in grains during storage. Aspergillus ochraceus is the most common producer of OTA. Essential oils play a crucial role as a biocontrol in the reduction of fungal contamination. Essential oils namely natural cinnamaldehyde, cinnamon oil, synthetic cinnamaldehyde, Litsea citrate oil, citral, eugenol, peppermint, eucalyptus, anise and...

Ethanol production from lignocelluloses by encapsulated and flocculating yeast

Secretory Expression and Characterization of Two Hemicellulases, Xylanase, and β-Xylosidase, Isolated from Bacillus Subtilis M015

Microbial hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is becoming increasingly important for the production of renewable biofuels to address global energy concerns. Hemicellulose is the second most abundant lignocellulosic biopolymer consisting of mostly xylan and other polysaccharides. A variety of enzymes is involved in complete hydrolysis of xylan into its constituent sugars for subsequent biofuel...

Xylanase Production from Aspergillus niger

Xylanase execute a large variety of function and have many important in biotechnological application. Its application in paper industry, pulp industry, increases the self life of bread, food ndustry. The production of xylanase was investigated in submerged culture of Aspergillus niger. This study was carried out in isolation and screening of xylanase enzyme from the Aspergillus niger fungus. Th...
