Secretion of cellulase and beta-glucosidase by Trichoderma viride ITCC-1433 in submerged culture on different substrates.
Trichoderma viride ITCC-1433 produces high yields of cellulase and especially beta-glucosidase when grown in submerged culture on different carbon sources. Cellulase synthesis was strongly repressed in the presence of glucose and only a low constitutive activity of beta-glucosidase and carboxymethylcellulase, but no Avicelase, could be demonstrated when culturing T. viride on glucose. With carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a substrate the secretion of enzyme as well as growth depended on the degree of substitution, but in general CMC cannot be regarded either as a powerful inducer or as a carbon source. With insoluble cellulose, maximum enzyme production and activities were obtained using an alkali-treated cellulose powder. On this substrate the excretion of soluble protein into the culture broth increased and the protein concentration corresponded to cellulolytic activities.
