TL;DR: Among the various carbon sources tested, maltose was most effective for the formation of these enzymes, followed by soluble maize starch, glycogen and pullulan, which showed maximum activities at pH 6.5-7.0 and 85 and 80 degrees C, respectively.

TL;DR: The culture-medium composition was optimised, on a shake-flask scale, for simultaneous production of high activities of endoglucanase and β-glucosidase by Thermoascus aurantiacus using statistical factorial designs and showed optimum activity at pH 4.5 and pH 5, respectively.

TL;DR: Both xylanases displayed remarkable pH and thermal stabilities by retaining most of their activities even after having been subjected to temperatures much higher than their optimal, and remained active under prolonged storage, having no loss of activity after 1 month of storage at 4°C and retaining up to about 90% after 10 days at 55°C.

TL;DR: The pH andTemperature optima as well as pH and temperature stabilities of T. viride enzymes were found to be comparable to T. reesei and some other fungal enzymes.

TL;DR: Thermomyces lanuginosus, isolated from self-heated jute stacks in Bangladesh, was studied for production of high level of cellulase-free thermostable xylanase at 50°C using xylan and the enzyme was almost stable over a broad range of pH 3–9 at 20°C.
