Abstract
Cellulase production by strains of Myrothecium verrucaria, Stachybotrys atra and Trichoderma viride was examined. Myrothecium verrucaria was found to give the greatest yields. A variety of media were examined as potential substrates for the industrial production of cellulase. The salts content of the medium was varied and was found to affect cellulase production. Glucose, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), filter paper and three industrial wastes were examined as possible cellulase inducers. Filter paper was found to be the most effective, followed by sugar cane bagasse and CMC.
