Production of xylanase enzyme by Pleurotus eryngii and Flamulina velutipes grown on different carbon sources under submerged fermentation.

The ability to produce xylanlytic enzyme in submerged (SF) fermentation by Pleurotus eryngii and Flamulina velutipes was checked first time. The cultivation in identical culture conditions revealed wide differences among xylanase production by both species. Among the carbon sources used, the maximum xylanase was produced by Flamulina velutipes 5.3 IU/ml (Xylose) and Pleurotus eryngii 6.83 IU/ml (starch) in comparison to other carbon sources. This study pointed out that the both organisms are capable to produce sufficient amount of xylanlytic enzymes.
