Summary
Thermomyces lanuginosus CAU44, a newly isolated thermophilic fungus strain, was used for the production of extracellular xylanase on various lignocellulosic materials under shake flask conditions. High-level production of xylanase by the strain was enhanced by optimizing the type of carbon sources, substrate concentration, particle size and surfactants in the culture medium. The titre of xylanase activity obtained of up to 4156 U ml−1 was the highest ever reported.
