Introduction:
Metabolites are small molecules formed as intermediates during various metabolic processes, which occur in the human body. Primary metabolites are small molecules produced in pathways such as glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and other metabolic pathways. Secondary metabolites are other class of small molecules, which are formed in response to different environmental conditions.

Xylanase is a class of hydrolyase enzymes that can break down hemicellulose into
fermentable sugars. Xylanase is widely used in the pulp and paper industry for
chlorine-free enzymatic bleaching of wood pulp. Besides that, xylanase is also applied
in several industries like feed, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages. At the industrial
scale, xylanases are mainly produced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
1. Solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation are the two major
techniques applied in the production of xylanase enzymes. Outline how the
xylanase enzymes are produced using these two techniques. Identify the
advantages and disadvantages of these two techniques.
2. Select a suitable microorganism and substrate that could be applied to produce
xylanase enzymes economically at industrial scale via the submerged fermentation
techniques with justifications.
Vmax for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction:
A)is twice the rate observed when the concentration of substrate is equal to Km.
B)is unchanged in the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor.
C)generally increases when pH increases.
D)increases in the presence of a competitive inhibitor.
E)is limited only by the amount of substrate supplied.
