Abstract
Maximum cellulase production was sought by comparing the activities of the cellulases produced by differentTrichoderma reesei strains andAspergillus niger. Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 showed higher cellulase activity than otherTrichoderma reesei strains andAspergillus niger that was isolated from soil. By optimizing the cultivation condition during shake flask culture, higher cellulase production could be achieved. The FP (filter paper) activity of 3.7 U/ml and CMCase (Carboxymethylcellulase) activity of 60 U/ml were obtained from shake flask culture. When it was grown in 2.5L fermentor, where pH and DO levels are controlled, the Enzyme activities were 133.35 U/ml (CMCase) and 11.67 U./ml (FP), respectively. Ammonium sulfate precipitation method was used to recover enzymes from fermentation broth. The dried cellulase powder showed 3074.9 U/g of CMCase activity and 166.7 U/g of FP activity with 83.5% CMCase recovery.
