“…Many studies reported similar effects with intermediate or higher moisture contents favoring the production of xylanolytic enzymes by fungi as Aspergillus niger (MACIEL et al, 2008), Fusarium oxysporum (XIROS et al, 2008a), Melanocarpus albomyces (NARANG et al, 2001), Neurospora crassa (XIROS et al, 2008b), Paecilomyces themophila (YANG et al, 2006), Penicillium brasilianum (MAMMA et al, 2007) and Penicillium canescens (BAKRI et al, 2003). Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the xylanase and α-Larabinofuranosidase productions were much higher when the moisture was provided by Vogel's salt solution than the production obtained in cultures moisturized with distilled or tap water.…”
