Studies on cellulolytic enzyme production by Trichoderma erinaceum

M. R. Ingle, R. L. Mishra

Abstract :

 Trichoderma erinaceum was isolated from decomposing coconut coir and was screened for its ability to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes. Production of extracellular cellulase enzymes was carried out by submerged fermentation for six days at 28º ± 2º C and at 150 rpm. Effect of varying pH of the culture medium on cellulase production was investigated and the optimum pH was reported to be 5. Of the different lignocellulosic agro industrial residues used as substrate for cellulase production, sugarcane bagasse was found to be the most efficient substrate (FPase 82.620U/ml, endoglucanase 102.513 U/ml and β–glucosidase 65.479 U/ml), followed by coconut coir and least was saw dust. Maximum production of cellulase enzyme has been noticed with regard to natural carbon sources than synthetic one.
