Characterization of a thermostable extracellular tannase produced under submerged fermentation by Aspergillus ochraceus

Background: Tannases are enzymes that may be used in different industrial sectors as, for example, food and pharmaceutical. They are obtained mainly from microorganisms, as filamentous fungi. However, the diversity of fungi stays poorly explored for tannase production. In this article, Aspergillus o...
