✦ Synopsis

Extracts of solid-state cultures of Penicillium capsulatum grown on beet pulp exhibit cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic, and pectinolytic activities. Such extracts catalyzed extensive solubilization of untreated beet pulp. The effects of pH, temperature, and endproducts on the saccharification process were investigated.
