Trichoderma sp. A potent producer of xylanase enzyme

Meer over het boek

The book explores the role of xylanases, enzymes crucial for breaking down xylan, a key component of hemicellulose in plant cell walls. It highlights the production of these enzymes by various microorganisms, particularly fungi like Trichoderma viride, in solid-state fermentation using agricultural wastes. The text emphasizes the optimization of cultural and nutritional parameters to enhance xylanase production, discussing its applications in industries such as pulp and paper, baking, and animal feed, as well as its potential in ethanol production.
