Rice  straw is a major agricultural by-product of rice production. Sustainable methods for  managing rice straw by utilizing fungi to degrade lignocellulosic biomass and can be  produced into biofertilizers. The objectives of this study were to determine the xylanase enzyme activity isolated from rice straw and compare the enzyme activities of different  fungus strains through statistical analysis. Seven fungal strains isolated from rice straw  were revived by sub-culturing on PDA plates to promote active growth. They were then  cultured in Czapek-Dox broth for seven days to production enzymes. The crude enzyme  was obtained by centrifuging the culture broth and subsequently used for the xylanase  activity assay. Fungus strain 4D demonstrated the highest xylanase activity at  1.1321 U/ml, while fungus strain P3 exhibited the lowest activity at 0.0358 U/ml. Lastly,  the best fungal strain of 4D for xylanase was identified in the post-hoc test which has the  highest value of mean with the subset of strains that have statistically significant  differences in enzyme activity (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the findings underscore the  potential of fungal strains, particularly strain 4D, in rice straw degradation, which can  contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.20aFaculty of Industrial Sciences and TechnologyxDissertations 0aUniversities and collegesxDissertations 0aFinal Year ReportxDissertations  2lcccPSM  00102lcc4070a10000b10000d2026-01-23l0oFIST .S55 2025 r Bc.pT000003680r2026-01-23 09:56:07w2026-01-23yRESTRICT  c103913d103919
