title: Production of cellulolytic enzymes from fungi and use in the saccharification of palm cake and palm fibre.
abstract: Aspergillus niger ATCC 6275 possesses the highest carboxymethyl-cellulase, xylanase and β-glucosidase activities under liquid and solid cultivations compared withMyceliophthora thermophila IFO 31843 and an isolate, F11. Palm cake proved to be a better substrate for enzyme production and saccharification than palm fibre. Saccharification of these two substrates, using crude enzyme solutions from three fungi and commercial enzymes, was investigated.
