Microbial Xylanolytic Enzymes

In recent years there has been a spurt of interest in xylan degrading enzymes due to their applications in several industrial processes - paper and pulp industries, food and feed industries, biofuel industry, textile industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, brewing industry. waste management, fermentation substrate to produce enzymes and many more. Xylan is the principal type of hemicellulose. An enzymatic complex is responsible for the hydrolysis of xylan, but the main enzymes involved are enzymes produced by fungi, bacteria, yeast, algae, protozoans, and more. Microbial Xylanolytic Enzymes describes the enzyme structure and its interaction with plant cell walls, the properties and production of different enzymes and their application and the knowledge gathered on the hydrolysis mechanism of hemicellulose. The knowledge gathered about the hydrolysis mechanism of the hemicelluloses, especially xylans, has greatly promoted the rapid application of these enzymes in new areas. Gives up-to-date authoritative information and cites pertinent research on the synergistic action of xylanolytic enzymes Includes studies on xylanase regulation and synergistic action between multiple forms of xylanase Covers in great depth all the aspects of Xylanolytic enzymes Includes detailed description on Xylanolytic enzymes as a supplement in animal feed, for the manufacture of bread, food and drinks, textile industry, pulp and paper industry, biofuel industry and production of pharmaceuticals and important chemicals, waste management etc. Challenges future trends in commercial production and application of xylanases
