PRODUCTION OF FUNGAL CELLULASE FROM AGRICULTURE SOIL ISOLATES USING CMC AS SUBSTRATE UNDER SUBMERGE FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY
P.K. Chouhan*
ABSTRACT
Cellulase is an enzyme has great industrial importance. It is used as
cellulose hydrolyzing enzyme and produces small sugar components
i.e. glucose, cellobiose and other oligomers. In the present study we
tried to isolate the fungal organism, Rhizopus and Aspergillus, from
agriculture soil since the fungi have been always the best effective
microorganism source for cellulose production. The enzyme
production was increased with incubation time during submerge
fermentation process by both fungal isolates using caboxy methyl
cellulose as substrate whereas more enzyme activity was shows by
Aspergillus spp than Rhizopus spp.
Keywords: Cellulase, Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Submerge Fermentation Technology and Incubation time.
