Article Synopsis
- The research focused on using banana peels (BP), a waste material, for producing two enzymes, xylanase and pectinase, using the fungus MS16 through different fermentation methods (submerged and solid-state).
- Factors such as temperature, pH, and concentration of BP were tested to determine their effects on enzyme production, revealing that optimal conditions varied between the fermentation methods.
- The study found significant differences in enzyme activity and production depending on the fermentation type, indicating that the physiological responses of the fungus differed greatly under submerged versus solid-state fermentation conditions.
