Abstract:
Lignocellulosic agricultural waste has become a useful and economic source for production of many commercially important products due to the presence of a wide variety of components. Xylan is a complex carbohydrate polymer which is composed of D-xylose units linked through ß-1,4 linkage. Current study is an effort to produce xylanase from newly isolated microbial strain Bacillus. 30strains were isolated from different areas (soil, water and air) of the Upper Dir.Out of 30, 13 were found to be Bacillus upon morphological, biochemical and microscopic characteristics. The production of xylanase was optimized using various physical and chemical parameters. 5 different reported media were used, and new medium was designed. The components of new media were also varied by incorporating agro-waste and wheat bran was found to be best induced at 3%concentration. Other salts were optimized as well. A high yield of xylanase was obtained at 40ºC, pH 7.0, and after 18 hours of fermentation. Thus, xylanase produced in current study can be further employed for biodegradation of ligno cellulosic biomass which can be useful in circular bio economy.
