Saccharum munja biomass is a cheap lignocelluloses which has high carbohydrate content and, if properly pre-treated, could be converted to fermentable sugar. The aim of the study is to isolate cellulose degrading microbes from soil samples collected from different regions and to identify cellulose degrading microbes of fungi. A total of 20 soil samples were collected and processed for isolating...

Spirochaeta thermophila is a thermophilic, free-living, and cellulolytic anaerobe. The genome sequence data for this organism have revealed a high density of genes encoding enzymes from more than 30 glycoside hydrolase (GH) families and a noncellulosomal enzyme system for (hemi)cellulose degradation. Functional screening of a fosmid library whose inserts were mapped on the S. thermophila genome...

Cellulase is an enzyme that converts the polymer structure of polysaccharides into fermentable sugars. The high market demand for this enzyme together with the variety of applications in the industry has brought the research on cellulase into focus. In this study, crude cellulase was produced from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) pretreated with 2% NaOH with autoclave, which was composed of 5...

abstract in this experiment the effects of two type of medium cultures, gibberellic acid and dark/cold and light/warm culture conditions on mature embryos germination of a local cultivar of walnut were investigated. the mature fruits were collected at 22 weeks postanthesis and after disinfection the mature embryo along with cotyledon pieces were excised and then were cultured on mt and modified...

Cellulases are a class of enzymes great industrial interest that present several strategic applications. However, the high cost enzyme production, coupled with instabilities and complexities proteins required for hydrolytic processes, still limits their use in protocols. Therefore, immobilization may be an essential tool to overcome these issues. The work aimed evaluate cellulolytic commercial ...
