Abstract

A new mesophilic Trichoderma isolate produced cellulases during growth on water hyacinth. Optimum cultural conditions for maximum enzyme production were: water hyacinth 0.25%, NH~4~NO~3~ 0.2%, Tween 80.2%, 6 day cultivation at 28–30 °C. Partially purified cellulases from this organism displayed activity optima at pH 3–4 and 50–60 °C. The enzymes were stable at pH 3–6 and temperature upto 60 °C. Fe^2+^ had the most stimulating effect on cellulases activities amongst many metal ions tested.
