RESUMO

This work investigates the possibility of utilizing a hemicellullosic hydrolysate obtained from mild acid hydrolysis of sugar cane bagasse as a culture medium for growing the fungus Penicillium janthinellum and for producing xylanases. The optimum conditions for the growth of fungus and the production of xylanases in a rotary incubator were: temperature of 30ºC, initial pH between 5.0 and 6.0 and agitation at 60 rpm. Under these conditions, cell growth was associated with the induction levels of the enzymes b-xylosidadses, b-glucosidases, endoglucanases and exoglucanases werw small. Xylanase production was also carried out in a 4 L mechanically agitated fermentor, using a hemicellulosic hidrolysate-based medium. The activity of the xylanases produced in this manner was lower than that of the xylanases pçoduced in the rotary incubator. An endoxylanase and a b-xylosidase were purified from the culture filtrate of the fungus. The study of the pH influence revealed an optimum pH 5.5 for endoxylanase activity and 6.0 for b-xylosidase. The optimum values of temperature were 50ºC and 60ºC for endoxylanase and b-xylosidase, respectively. The main products of xylan hydrolysis by endoxylanase were xylose, xylobiose and xylotriose...
