Screening of A. lentulus for xylanase production
The fungal isolate A. lentulus was initially screened for xylanase
production on xylan-agar plates containing 1% xylan and 0.1%
Congo Red (Bajaj and Singh, 2010). Plates were spot inoculated with
the fungal spores and incubated at 30 C for 5 days. The diameter of
the clear zone formed around the fungal colony was measured on
daily basis.
