Nine Trichoderma harzianum strains were screened for beta-xylosidase activity when grown in solid-state cultures on media containing wheat bran as the carbon source. All strains produced beta-xylosidase activity, the most active being in extracts of cultures of T. harzianum strain 4. A beta-xylosida...
