Abstract
This paper deals with the characterization of extracellular thermostab le xylanase produced by Chaetomium globosum, an ascomycete fungus. The crude extracellular enzyme was found to have temperature and pH optim a of 60-degrees-C and 5.0 respectively. The enzyme hydrolyses xylan to a mixture of xylo-oligomers. Xylobiose and xylose are the major break down products.
