The use of a soluble carbon source in lieu of cellulose for the production of cellulase would allow greater control of the fermentation, since growth and enzyme production would no longer be dependent upon cellulose hydrolysis. Where carbon limitation is a requirement, fed-batch fermentation has proved successful. This article describes cellulase production from Trichoderma reesei using five different carbon sources, sophorose appearing to be a more likely candidate than cellobiose. (Refs. 22).
