Cellulase Production in Semisolid Cultures of Trichoderma viride

Abstract

Cellulase was produced by Trichoderma viride in semisolid cultures of rice bran, rice straw and rice hulls. T viride QM 9414 generally produced higher cellulolytic activity on CM-cellulose (Cx activity) using rice bran-rice hull mixture (2: 1 w/w) as substrate compared to strains ITCC 1433 and D 4014. It showed higher Cx activity on rice bran-rice straw mixtures than on rice bran-rice hull mixtures. Maximal extraction of the enzyme from mold bran was obtained with 0.05 m sodium citrate buffer, pH 3.5. © 1977, Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry. All rights reserved.
