Aurebasidium pullulans

Christov and Prior (10) used a crude xylanase preparation from Aurebasidium pullulans to remove hemicellulose from unbleached sulfite pulp in which the pulp was pretreated with 0.03 g of NaOH 1 h of pulp at 80°C for 1 h and with 2.5% pulp consistency. After 24 h of incubation, 12.8 mg of reducing sugar 1 g of pulp was produced, fivefold lower than the value achieved in the present work (63.4 mg of xylose 1 g of dried corncob), although different pretreatment conditions had been employed.
