A large number of fungi were isolated from soils of different regions and screened for cellulytic potential. One of the best cellulase producing fungal strains was selected and the cellulase production by the isolate from various lignocellulosic substrate such as flame grass, reed, empty fruit bunch, rice straw, barley straw were examined. The fungus was aerobically cultured in a flask containing broth medium containing the different lignocellulosic substrates and the culture filtrates were used as crude cellulases, xylanase, and pectinase. Among the five different substrates, barley straw produced the highest level of endocellulase, exocellulase, filter paperase, xylanase, pectinase.
Although rice straw in the medium produced the highest level of β-glucosidase, barley straw was also comparable to the rice straw in the production of β-glucosidase. These results indicated that barley straw is an economic and efficient substrate for the production of cellulases, xylanase, and pectinase.
