“…Among the pure substrates, which are mostly sugars of mono-, di-, or polysaccharide nature, inulin and sucrose have been employed preferably as carbon sources. In general, if the fungal strain showed only inulinase activity, inulin served as the best source of carbon (Poorna and Kulkarni, 1995;Pessoa et al, 1996, Pandey et al, 1998. However, if the fungus exhibited inulinase activity coupled with invertase activity, sucrose served as a better carbon source for enzyme production.…”
