Bagasse induces xylanase activity among the isolates. a Xylanase activity was measured for all the strains isolated from the deep layers (Samples 1 and 4) that showed activity in the plate assay. The assay was carried out on strains grown in 24 well plates for six days in yeast nitrogen base (YNB) media containing 2% sugarcane bagasse as the carbon source. b Xylanase activity of a selection of the strains in YNB media with and without bagasse and glucose after seven days, showing that the bagasse induced xylanase. Xylanase activity is expressed as units per ml. Error is standard deviation and N = 3 in the assay
