✦ Synopsis
The stability of endo-B-xylanase produced by the thermophilic fungus The~'momyces lanuginosus was examined at various temperatures and pH values. The enzyme was highly stable in the pH range from 6 to 9. The rate of inactivation was shown to follow first order kinetics. The half lives of enzyme activity as well as the activation energies of the inactivation at pH values between 5 and 11 were determined.
