Abstract

An investigation was conducted to compare the enzyme activities of cellulases produced by Penicillium so. and Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30 using glucose, avicel, 1% NaOH treated and untreated rice straw as substrates. Statistical analysis Shows that there is no significant difference bet-ween the cellulase activities on both treatments. Notice-able differences in the specific activities of the cellulases produced from different substrates by a single isolate indicate the production of different forms of cellulases in the different substrates. Electrophoresis of the different enzyme samples shows a varying number of bands per sample which differed in relative mobilities and intensities. This result further substantiates the assumption that a different form of cellulase is produced by the isolates used in the different substrates.
