Xylanase production by A. lentulus through solid state fermentation
of wheat bran was recorded at various time intervals. Six
250 mL flasks were taken and 5 g of wheat branwas added to each
of them. The substrate was moistened with 15 mL of composite
media (CM) comprising, Yeast extract 2.5 g/L, MgSO4 0.1 g/L,
K2HPO4 0.5 g/L, NH4NO3 0.5 g/L and NaCl 1 g/L. The flasks were
autoclaved at 121 C and 15 psi for 20 min. Sterile flasks containing
substrate were then inoculated with 5% spore suspension and
incubated at 30 C.
