The effect of different carbon sources on morphology and cellulase and xylanase production ofPenicillium echinulatumwas evaluated in this work. Among the six carbon sources studied, cellulose and sugar cane bagasse were the most suitable for the production of filter paper activity, endoglucanases, xylanases, andβ-glucosidases. However, sucrose and glucose showedβ-glucosidase activities similar to those obtained with the insoluble sources. The polyacrylamide gels proved the enzymatic activity, since different standards bands were detected in the media mentioned above. Regarding morphology, it was observed that the mycelium in a dispersed form provided the greatest enzymatic activity, possibly due to greater interaction between the substrate and hyphae. These data are important in understanding the physiology of fungi and could contribute to obtaining enzyme with potential application in the technology of second generation ethanol.

With ion implantation, a high xylanase-producing strainAspergillus nigerBU99 was selected. Different late acting carbon sources (wheat bran, wheat straw, corncob and bagasse) had an effect on enzymatic production. Additionally, it was found that fast acting carbon sources (lactose, galactose, sucrose, glucose and maltose) put into the media affected on xylanase production too. Severe catabolic repression was observed in the media with lactose, but other sugars (galactose, sucrose, glucose and maltose) could increase the production of xylanase compared with the control. The production of xylanase was improved too when corncob flour was hydrolyzed by α-amylase, cellulase or/and glucoamylase. Additionally, it was found that the production of xylanase would be almost higher at 60h when the media contained glucose or were hydrolyzed by enzymes.

Aspergillus awamori showed high extracellular endoxylanase (100 U/ml) and beta-xylosidase activities (3.5 U/ml) when grown on milled sugar cane bagasse as the principal carbon source without treatment. Partial characterization of xylanases showed that the apparent values of Km were 3.12 ± 0.05 mg/ml for endoxylanase (in birchwood xylan) and 0.45 ± 0.05 mM for beta-xylosidase (in p -nitrophenyl beta-D-xylanopiranoside). Corresponding values of Vmax were 6.63 ± 0.02 and 0.078 ± 0.02 mumol/min. Gradual repression of endoxylanase activity was observed when increasing concentrations of glucose and xylose (1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 g of carbohydrate / 4 g of sugar cane bagasse) were added to production media. In contrast, beta-xylosidase activity was stimulated using low levels of carbohydrates (1 g xylose or glucose/ 4 g of sugar cane bagasse).
