RESUMO
Sugarcane bagasse was used as substrate for xylanase production by means of a strain of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai isolated from decaying Aspidosperma sp. (peroba) wood. The bagasse was washed, dried, milled and wetted with minimal salts medium and the cultures grown at 28 ñ 2§C for 7 days. Two extraction methods were tested for enzyme recovery: (A) Tween 80, 0.1(per cent) (v/v), in physiological saline, and (B) 50mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0, under agitation (180rpm) for 15, 30 and 60min. After a single extraction, both extraction methods recovered an average of 15U/ml of xylanase activity, independent on the time of shaking. A second and third extraction recovered 10.4 and 6.6U/ml xylanase, respectively. The effect of volume size for extraction, and sugarcane bagasse concentration, on xylanase production were also investigated. The growth profile of Trichoderma harzianum was followed over 20 days on 14(per cent) (w/v) bagasse, and highest xylanase activity (288U/ml) appeared on the seventh day. The enzymatic extract after precipitation with ammonium sulphate was submitted to electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels and showed 4 protein-staining bands, one of which exhibited xylanase activity.
