Lignocellulose can be readily hydrolyzed into a mixture of sugars using dilute mineral acids. During hydrolysis, a variety of inhibitors are also produced which include aromatic alcohols from lignin and furfuryl alcohol from pentose destruction. Seven compounds were investigated individually and in

β¦ Synopsis
Aspergillus japonicus was grown in the presence of various aromatic compounds at 0.1 and 1 mg/mL, and extracellular xylanase and arabanase activities were measured. Some of the aromatic compounds tested, especially at the higher concentration, suppressed the appearance of hemicellulase activities, expressed as xylanase or arabanase. Vanillin at 1 mg/mL in the presence of either xylan or araban completely suppressed growth, and guaiacol and p-coumaric acid markedly inhibited the growth of A. japonicus. The effects of the aromatic compounds on the activity of crude enzyme preparations were also ascertained. in vitro arabanase activity was affected more than xylanase activity.
