Selection of substrate
Different agricultural wastes such as wheat bran, rice polish,
rice husk, soybean meal, sunflower meal, sugarcane bagasse
and corn cobs were evaluated for xylanase production by T.
viride-IR05 in solid state fermentation.
In a similar study, while studying the effect
of different media on xylanase production by Thermomyces
lanuginosus through solid state fermentation, Sonia et al. (2005)
tested the combination of various nitrogen sources such as yeast
extract, proteose peptone and corn steep liquor with ammonium
sulphate as the nitrogen source.
