Aspergillus niger DSM 26641 was exposed to 60Co g-radiation to enhance the b-1,4-endoxylanase activity, restrict colony growth and improve robustness of pellets. The first promising mutant obtained after g-radiation of the fungal spores at 50-2000 Gy showed a restricted colony growth and an 82% enhancement in b-1,4-endoxylanase activity. The mutant was subjected to a second round of g-radiation at 1400 Gy generating a mutant with double the b-1,4-endoxylanase activity compared to the native strain. The selected final mutant, deposited as Aspergillus niger DSM 28712, showed a maximal saccharification activity of 26 U·ml-1 on xylan based broth, 48 U·ml-1 on lignocellulose hydrolysate and 375 U·ml-1 on lignocellulose hydrolysate supplemented with yeast extract and mineral salts.
