Abstract

The total reducing sugar, filter paper activity and carbomethylucellulase activity of trichoderma virida ITCC 1433, Trichoderma reesei NRRL 11485 and penicillium 86 using ipil-ipil wood powder (Laucaena leucocephala) or alphacel as carbon substrate and compared. Of the three organism tested, Penicillium 86 gave the highest enzymes activities when grown on either substrate while T. viride ITCC 1433 gave the lowest activities for the three fungal strains, enzymes activities were higher the organism was grown on alphacel than the ipil-ipil wood powder. A comparison of the use of shake flask and airlift fermenter for cellulase production showed that pecicillium gave higher activities when cultured in the fementer
