Xylanase production of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum from ammonia pretreated cellulosic waste
Effect of ammonia pretreatment of cellulosic wastes on xylanase production was studied using two microfungi, Aspergillus niger ANL301 and Penicillium chrysogenum PCL 501. Xylanase activity of culture supernatants of the two microfungi, fermented in basal media containing as sole carbon source pretreated and non-pretreated wastes (sawdust of mitragyna ciliata, sugarcane pulp and wheat bran), was...
