Abstract

MAGBANUA, JOSE PAOLO V. University of the Philippines at Los Banos, June 1986. Cellulase production using rice straw by two fungal isolates.

Adviser: Dr. Saturnina C. Halos

An investigation was conducted to compare the enzyme activities of cellulases produced by two fungal isolates using NaOH treated and untreated rice straw as substrates. Statistical analysis show that there is no significant difference between the cellulase activities between the two treatments. Noticiable differences in the specific activities of the cellulases produced from different substrates by a single isolate indicate the production of different forms of cellulase in the different substrates. :electrophoresis of the different enzyme samples show a single sand per sample which differed in relative mobilities and intensities. This result further substantiate the assumption that a different form of cellulase is produced by the isolates used in different substrates.
