Production of Xylanase by Aspergillus Niger ATCC 16404 using oil palm leaf as substrate / Norazlina Idris

Malaysia generates agricultural wastes (agro-wastes) with the volume nearly 5 million tonnes yearly. At present, oil palm fronds are the major composition of agricultural waste materials that are exported to European countries for the industrial needs. Automatically, there is also a lot of oil palm...
