✦ Synopsis

Biomass production of Cellulomonas was optimal with 1% (w/v) bagasse pith pre-treated with either 0.2 M NaOH for 1 h at 80°C or 0.4 M NaOH for 40 h at 28 to 30°C. Growth was similar to that obtained with a more severe treatment used as control and compared well with other reports for cellulolytic bacteria cultivated on pre-treated bagasse pith.
