Abstract
Byoung Suk Kim*, Jin Kook Cho**, Jin Ook Song**, Hak Kyo Lee** and Seong Gu Hwang**Korea Enzyme Co., Ltd.*, Hankyong National University**ABSTRACTThis study was undertaken to screen a high xylanase and mannanase producing microbes. In the first experiment, screening was undertaken against 50 samples of microorganisms having xylanase and mannanase activities from soil and fallen leaves. The screening process has focused on picking out fungi having high xylanase and mannanase activities under the solid-state fermentation. The xylanase and mannanase activities of 6 screened microbes were 0.9~1.6 unit/mL and 0.2~0.4 unit/mL, respectively, under the submerged fermentation condition. However, under the solid-state fermentation, xylanase and mannanase activities were 103.7~220.0 unit/g and 20.1~40.3 unit/g, respectively. Finally one microbe(E-3) was selected and its xylanase and mannanase activities were 197.3 unit/g and 39.9 unit/g, respectively. The morphological and molecular biological classification of E-3 showed 99% homology with the Aspergillus niger. (Key words :Aspergillus niger, Xylanase, Mannanase)
