title: Characterization of a cellulase producing mold, Trichoderma sp. W-10 isolated from infected mushroom spawn.
abstract: A potent cellulase producing mold, Tichoderma sp. W-10 suitable for enzyme production with solid state culture was isolated from infected mushroom spawn, its characteristics and taxonomic studies were carried out. As a result, this mold was identified as Trichoderma koningii (Oudemans) according to the keys of Gilman and Rifai's classification system and the morphological features described by Komatsu. Meanwhile, a detail survey of physiological, cultural and biochemical characteristics were also described.
