Abstract
Fungi are well known for their ability to produce xylanase into the environment. The aim of this work was to optimize xylanase production by fungi isolated from soil diverse habitats such as manures, dead and decaying wood and soil samples. The fungus Aspergillus flavus ARC-12 was selected for the production of cellulase-free xylanase. Various agro-residues were used as carbon sources and pearl millet stover produced maximum xylanase production (1345.44 IU/gds) under solid-state fermentation. Various culture conditions were optimized by using one factor at the time and the maximum xylanase production (1699.50 IU/gds) was obtained after 48 h of incubation at a temperature of 30 °C, an initial pH of 6.0 and initial moisture content of 77.5%.
