Purification and characteration of xylanase from aspegillus oryzae VTCC F187

Abstract

Xylanase is produced by many bacteria and fungi, among which Aspergillus oryzae is considered as a potential source. In this study, a xylanase was isolated and purified from the crude culture filtrate of Aspergillus oryzae VTCC F187 after 7 days of growth on the optimal culture containing 7% corncob and 5% soybean powder under liquid-state fermentation. After two steps purification process including gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-75) incorporating with anion-exchange chromatography (DEAE-sephadex), obtained xylanase was purified with the yield and purity of 24.9% and 3.91 fold, respectively.
