Application of a new xylanase activity from <i>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</i><scp>XR44A</scp> in brewer's spent grain saccharification

Abstract

The culture supernatant of <i>B. amyloliquefaciens</i> XR44A with xylanase activity allowed a recovery of around 43% xylose during brewer's spent grain saccharification, similar to the value obtained with a commercial xylanase from <i>Trichoderma viride</i>, and a maximum arabinose yield of 92%, around 2-fold higher than that achieved with the commercial xylanase. © 2014 The Authors. <i>Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology</i> published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
