Production of Cellulase in Solid-State Fermentation with Trichoderma reesei MCG 80 on Wheat Straw

Bioethanol Production from Horticultural Waste Using Crude Fungal Enzyme Mixtures Produced by Solid State Fermentation

“…reesei RUT-C30 is one of the most powerful and best characterized cellulolytic strains and is considered as a model cellulase producer [10][11][12]. Numerous industrial and agricultural residues have been evaluated for cellulase production using SSF by T. reesei [10][11][12][23][24][25]. HW, one of the most produced lignocellulosic wastes in Singapore, was chosen as the substrate for cellulase production under SSF by T. reesei RUT-C30 in our lab [12].…”

Lignocellulose biotechnology: issues of bioconversion and enzyme production

“…It has been reported that the solid state fermentation (SSF) is an attractive alternative process to produce fungal microbial enzymes using lignocellulosic materials from agricultural wastes due to its lower capital investment and lower operating cost (Chahal et al, 1996;Haltrich et al, 1996;Jecu, 2000). SSF process, for the reasons stated, will be ideal for developing countries.…”

High-level xylanase production by alkaliphilic Bacillus pumilus ASH under solid-state fermentation

“…SSF is the growth of microorganisms on moist substrates in the absence of free flowing water; where water is present in an absorbed or in complex form with the solid matrix and the substrate (Canel and Moo-Young 1980). Thus, SSF is an attractive alternative process to produce microbial enzymes due to its lower capital investment and lower operating cost (Chahal et al 1996;Haltrich et al 1996;Jecu 2000). As the microorganisms grow under conditions closer to their natural habitats, they are more capable of producing enzymes and metabolites that will not be produced or will be produced only in low yields in submerged conditions (Jecu 2000).…”
