Abstract Besides the nutritive value of banana fruits the biomass can also be used as natural resources for fibre extraction with indisputable advantages over synthetic reinforcement materials such as low cost, low density, non-toxicity, comparable strength, and minimum waste disposal problem. Microbial pectinolytic enzymes are known to play an important role in a number of industrial processes including degumming of natural fibers. In the present study the microbial and enzymatic retting process continued for optimization of quality banana fibre extraction. The isolated 17 fungal strains having different degree of Pectin degrading properties of which 6 strains also having laccase production properties. Among the strains studied Phoma herbarum and Aspergillius niger showed higher enzymatic production on pectin plate assay. In bio-enzymatic treatment enzyme produce from Phoma herbarum and Aspergillus niger showed higher degumming response at 45ºC with a treatment duration of 6h.The optimization of pectinase production by submerged fermentation by using Plackett-Burman Design. The highest enzyme activities, were recorded as 7.5 (U/ml) from Phoma herbarum (ENZ-5/2h-treatment) shows better results with degumming time six (6) and recorded higher Tenacity (225.155/den) and Toughness (2.206g/den) which was followed by Aspergillus niger (7.0 U/ml, ENZ-1/2h treatment) with Tenacity (147.851/den) and Toughness (2.669g/den).
