Production of xylanase by Fusarium oxysporum using agro-industrial waste

This study aimed to optimize the production of xylanase, under submerged conditions using Fusarium oxysporum. Firstly, it was carried out selection best source carbon from agricultural waste, such as soybean husk, cassava peel, pineapple crown, corn straw, rice bacaba, barley bagasse and, corncob. They were milled and sieved with a maximum granulation 1 mm. The cultures by 132 hours 30 °C 180 rpm. Among agroindustrial residues, straw one that stood greater enzymatic activity 12.6 U/mL. In second step, used Plackett-Burman design screen nutrients sources important xylanase production. Thus, independent variables significant urea MgSO4. These selected then in Central Composite Rotational Design present 26.6 U/mL predicted 34.5 So, F. oxysporum can be low-cost waste found large quantities.
