The productions of extracellular xylanase were carried out by using Aspergillus tamarii was evaluated under different fermentation parameters by employing solid state fermentation (SSF) method. The xylanase producers detected by the clear zone around the colony by simple plate assay method. Aspergillus tamarii is the potential strain among the fungal isolates. The xylanase syntheses were screened by employing different substrates by fermentation parameters. The optimum pH 5.0, temperature 35°C, moisture 65% and inoculum size 1.0 ml and it showed 5.77 IU
