Synergism of AXE with a commercially available xylanase on beechwood xylan as the substrate. The reaction mixtures were prepared in Eppendorf tubes containing 1% beechwood xylan in phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and incubated over the time at 50 °C. Combination of rAXE and xylanase was included 1.7 U of rAXE and 5 U of commercially available endo-1,4-β-xylanase derived from A. niger. Only rAXE and xylanase contained reaction mixtures were included 1.7 U and 5 U respectively. Relative activity was determined with the activity of rAXE + xylanase at 120 min as 100%. Data are given as means ± SD, n = 3
