Characterization of Celluloltic fungi in peat soil for potential application and biodegradation of rice husk

Cellulases are a group of hydrolytic enzymes that capable of degrading cellulose to the smaller glucose units. Nine isolates were isolated from samples taken from peat soil by growing on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Cellulolytic activities were measured qualitatively and quantitatively by using 0.1%...
