This paper deals with the characterization of extracellular thermostable xylanase produced by Chaetomium globosum , an ascomycete fungus. The crude extracellular enzyme was found to have temperature and pH optima of 60°C and 5·0 respectively. The enzyme hydrolyses xylan to a mixture of xylo‐oligomers. Xylobiose and xylose are the major breakdown products.
