Abstract

This review delves into the fascinating realm of xylan, the primary component of hemicellulose, which ranks among the most abundant natural fibers worldwide. The complex and diverse structure of xylan poses a significant challenge for its breakdown. However, xylanases, extraordinary enzymes, possess the remarkable ability to cleave the intricate -1,4-glycosidic bond within this heterogeneous xylan structure. These exceptional catalysts are produced abundantly by a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, yeast, and marine algae, showcasing the vast biological sources of xylanases. By harnessing genetic regulation in enzyme biosynthesis, various strategies have been developed to scale up xylanase production. The escalating global demand for xylanases stems from their versatility in diverse industries. Their suitability for applications in food and feed, paper and pulp, textiles, medicines, and lignocellulosic biorefineries has rendered them highly sought-after. Consequently, in-depth analysis of complex xylan structures, microbial synthesis of xylanases, and exploration of potential industrial uses have become major areas of research. This comprehensive review provides a profound exploration of xylan and xylanases, shedding light on their remarkable properties, production methods, and wide-ranging applications. The insights presented here establish a foundation for further advancements and the utilization of xylanases across various industries.
