In the present investigation, different cultural conditions (Concentration of sawdust, pH, Temperature and Inoculum size) were examined to assess their effect for optimum cellulase production using Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 4643. Pretreated sawdust produced highest cellulase activity (12.08 U/g)at 5% concentration. Optimum pH and temperature for cellulase production was observed 6.0 and 30 0 C respectively.Read More
