Enzyme Production of Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 on Various Lignocellulosic Substrates

On-Site Enzyme Production by Trichoderma asperellum for the Degradation of Duckweed

“…This was largely affected by the substrate loading for the hydrolysis, showing that above a certain load, the ability to degrade the plant cell wall structure, as well as the sugar release, significantly decreased. This was also seen by Kristensen et al [44]. Kristensen et al [44], who found that the enzymatic conversion decreased linearly with an increase in the concentration of the solid loading.…”

“…This was also seen by Kristensen et al [44]. Kristensen et al [44], who found that the enzymatic conversion decreased linearly with an increase in the concentration of the solid loading. The authors argued that this can be an effect of the substrate inhibiting the cellulases.…”

“…On-site production of enzymes by Trichoderma has been investigated for the hydrolysis of a range of substrates, such as: wheat straw [34][35][36], wet-exploded corn stover [37], sugar cane bagasse [38][39][40], steam-treated spruce [41], rice straw [42,43], wet-exploded loblolly pine [37] as well as newspaper sludge and steam-exploded wood al., [44]. Compared with these substrates, the duckweed species Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza should in theory exhibit lower recalcitrance, due to their simpler structure and low lignin content.…”

Influence of various fermentation variables on exo-glucanase production in Cellulomonas flavigena

“…Economical production of cellulases is key for feasible bioethanol production from LC biomass using cellulase-based processes. Different fungi and bacteria have been used for production of cellulases and xylanases using different substrates (Bahkali, 1996;Magnelli and Forchiassin, 1999;Shin et al 2000;Lynd et al 2002). Previously we produced cellulases following growth of C. biazotea on different substrates produced on saline lands namely Leptochloa fusca (kallar grass) straw, Panicum maximum, Sesbania aculeata compared with bagasse straw, and wheat straw and found that kallar grass was superior to other substrates for supporting synthesis of cellulases (Rajoka and Malik, 1997).…”

Optimization of cellulase production by <i>Penicillium oxalicum</i> using banana agrowaste as a substrate

“…Even though there are many reports on cellulase-producing fungi (Shin et al, 2000), only a few have high enough activities for commercial success (Elad, 2000;Kang et al, 1994). In our exploration for cellulolytic fungi, Penicillium oxalicum was found to be a high producer of cellulolytic enzyme under suitable nutritional and environmental conditions.…”
