The production of xylanase by Aspergillus wentii in submerged fermentation at different ranges of pH, temperature and time periods was studied. The maximum xylanase production, was obtained at pH 6.0, temperature 40°C but it was at par with 35°C and time period of 120hrs. Optimization studies were carried out to find the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on xylanase production and it was observed that wheat bran xylan medium supplemented with methyl - β - D xylopyranoside and NaNO₃ supported good yield of xylanase.
