Abstract
A total of 67 strains of Rhizopus spp. were screened on their capability to
produce xylanase under solid state and liquid culture. The highest xylanas
e activity of 516 unit/mL for liquid culture was exhibited by strain Rhizop
us peka from the Philippines. For solid state culture, the highest activity
of 7802 unit/mL was achieved by Rhizopus sp. MKU 32 which originated from
Thailand. Results showed that liquid culture was more suitable for xylanase
production using Rhizopus strains from the Philippines.
