Abstract
Yeast strains showing xylanase activity were explored from various natural sources, such as flowers and soil. A yeast strain showing high xylanase activity on the Remazol Brilliant Blue-xylan plate was isolated from the flower of yellow chrysanthemum and identified as Pseudozyma tsukubaensis through analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of 18S ribosomal RNA. P. tsukubaensis MBY/L1662 exhibited higher tolerance to fermentation inhibitors than the control strain. The maximum xylanase activity of 3,244.11 ± 210.01 U/mg protein was obtained for P. tsukubaensis MBY/L1662 grown at pH 5 and 10 g/L xylose. The ability of P. tsukubaensis MBY/L1662 to degrade xylan will be a critical stepping stone for its various applications.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
