Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to optimize the hydrolysis of birch xylan with a mixture of recombinant thermostable xylanase (XynB) and glucuronidase (AguA) from an engineered strain of Escherichia coli. Methods: The hydrolysis conditions were optimized using combination of one-factor-at-a-time method and response surface methodology. Results: The optimized conditions were obtained as follows: substrate concentration, 4.2 g/100 mL; temperature, 80.66 ℃; pH, 7.65; and XynB/AguA dosage, 60/9 U/g, yielding a reducing sugar concentration of 17.82 mg/mL. Conclusion: The reducing sugar and xylose concentrations were respectively 17.91 mg/mL and 13.66 mg/mL after 4 h of hydrolysis with the enzyme mixture.
