Solid substrate fermentation (SSF) of sawdust by aspergillus niger for cellulase production

Sawdust waste is one of the highly potential agricultural wastes that can be used as substrate for the production of cellulase via solid state fermentation. This research focuses on the relevant cultural condition for optimum cellulase production by the locally isolated Aspergillus niger using sawdu...

This research focuses on the relevant cultural condition for optimum cellulase production by the locally isolated Aspergillus niger using sawdust as substrate via solid state fermentation. The aim of this research is to study the optimum cellulase production using sawdust as substrate.
