The influence of oil wastes for microbial xylanase production can use sesame oil cake (SOC) as substrate by the filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum. The wild and mutated strains of these organisms are grown in Mandel’s medium with modified trace elements at ambient temperature with pH 6.0 for 6 days. Finally, the mutated strains of both the species produced xylanase in a higher amount. The maximum yield of Xylanase was from the UV mutated Aspergillus niger strain. The average production of Xylanase from this species is 0.0415IU/ml. Moreover, the Xylanase is found to be cellulase free on this substrate (SOC).
