Abstract:

Fed-batch cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei NRRL 11460, Trichoderma carbon viride PrF, and Penicillium sp. 86 (a local isolate) was studied using corn cobe as three source with pH controlled at 5.0 in a 3.5-liter airlift fermenter. of the fungal strains tested, T. reesei 11460 showed the highest volumetric actitotal vities, i.e., 1.34 I.U./mL on filter paper and 13.38 I.U./mt on CM-cellulose at a substrate level of 80 g/L after 9.5 days of fermentation.
