Effect of municipal refuse metals on cellulase production by Thermomonospora curvata.
The high-concentration metals in municipal refuse compost were tested for effects on cellulase production and activity in Thermomonospora curvata. Although none altered cellulase reaction rates, both Al and Ca appeared to specifically inhibit cellulase production.
