Isolation and Optimized Production of Xylanase under Solid State Fermentation Condition from Trichoderma sp.

Seven strains of Trichoderma were isolated and selected for the xylanase enzyme production under optimized conditions. Various process variables were optimized using conventional ‘one-variable-at-a-time’ approach which involves varying a single independent variable and maintaining others at a constant level. All culture conditional variables had profound influence on enzyme production and a significant increase in xylanase enzyme production was occurred when 2 ml of inoculum is added in the growth media and incubated for 7 days at pH 6.0 and temperature 55?C under static conditions in solid state fermentation.
