title: Cellulase production on high levels of cellulose and corn steep liquor.
abstract: Several enhanced cellulase mutants of Trichoderma reesei have been used for cellulase production using corn steep liquor and microcrystalline cellulose as substrates. Under the optimum fermentation conditions on 6% cellulose and 3.6% corn steep liquor Trichoderma reesei Rut C 30 produced high levels of cellulase enzymes 6MC-ase 54 IU/ml, filter paper activity 3.2 IU/ml after 10 days incubation at 28-30 degrees C.
