“…These fungi also produced a higher amount of cellulolytic enzymes in the current study (Fig. 2) and following higher biodegradation ability due to higher enzyme activities of different fungi reported earlier [18,63,64]. Wheat straw hydrolysis by A. tubingensis AKF2 resulted in a highly deformed, porous, and rough texture (Fig.…”

Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural waste seems promising feedstock for biofuel production; however, its degradation to fermentable sugars is challenging. Interestingly, fungi have shown substantial potential for the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass and thus could be employed in lignocellulose-based biorefinery. Aiming at this, the current study was focused on screening the novel cellulolytic fungi from the surrounding environment. The preliminary molecular/morphological screening of 107 samples narrowed the experiment to 5 different fungi, designated: Aspergillus tubingensis AKF2, Aspergillus flavus AKF3, Pyricularia oryzae AKF4, Aspergillus nominus AKF5, and Aspergillus oryzae AKF6. The selected fungi were evaluated for their cellulolytic potential utilizing wheat straw, corn cob, and rice husk. The highest enzyme activity
