%X The production of xylanase without cellulase is required for the prebleaching of pulps, paper and food industry. The strain Streptomyces spp.P12-137 developed from the spores of the wild type organism was used in this work. Cultures in Erlenmeyer flasks, under shaking condition (150 rpm) at temperature and pH values (28ˇăC, 5.0 respectively) revealed a xylanase activity of 27.77 IUˇ¤mL-1 after 120 h fermentation. This study demonstrates that Streptomyces spp. P12-137 is able to produce xylanase when wheat bran is used as a substrate. Fermentation was performed in a glass bioreactor withforced aeration. Data obtained have been compared to data from mathematical model obtained by numerical simulation using Matlab 7.9.0.529 (MathWorks, Inc. USA). The numerical simulation of the bioprocess could be a useful tool for adopting a control strategy to achieve increased xylanases yields under pilot or industrial conditions.
