CHARACTERIZATION OF CELLULASE PRODUCED BY MICROORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM SOIL

Abstract The study was undertaken to characterize cellulase produced by microorganisms isolated from the soil. Cellulolytic bacteria and fungi were isolated from soil samples collected from ten different locations within Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Organisms were grown in a minimal medium containing carboxymethylcellulose for the production of cellulolytic enzymes. Endoglucanase activity of culture filtrates which […]
