Abstract

This research project aims to present a proposal for Scientific Initiation Scholarship, to be held along the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Julio de Mesquita Filho", the Faculty of Engineering, Campus of Ilha Solteira (FE / CISA), Department of Phytothecnology, Technology food and Socio Economy (DFTASE). Such a proposal is configured for selecting microorganisms producing fungal xylanases, as well as the study of the production of the enzyme of interest. The microorganisms are characterized by producing a pool of enzymes, and these can have a wide industrial application. This application takes place in both the direct processing of a particular product, such as the use of foreign raw materials, such as agro-waste currently targeted for new alternative energy generation and biofuel. Such microorganisms can be associated with established processes for producing enzymes and consequently lead to a reduction of the release of these residues in the environment and still produce byproducts value.(AU)
