Summary
Xylose, xylobiose and arabinose were identified as natural and direct inducers of xylanase from a color variant strain ofAureobasidium pullulans. Arabinose, in contrast to xylose, xylobiose and xylan, induced only the major isozyme of xylanase. Xylanase induction was subject to glucose repression.
