The xylanase activities
obtained with different substrates increased with the increasing
hemicellulose content of the substrate. These xylanase activities
were accompanied by very low cellulase activities; wheat straw
(2.0 fpu/g) < wheat bran (1.9 fpu/g) < corn cob (1.4 fpu/
g) < sugarcane bagasse (1.3 fpu/g).
