Cellulolytic activity of some soil fungi.
The cellulolytic activity of some soil fungi isolated from soil and decomposing pieces of plant material was observed to depend upon the genera of fungi, the nature of substrate and the temperature. The cellulase produced in the presence of cellulose powder was active against CMC and vice versa.
