Title: Effect of culture phasing and mannanase on production of cellulase and hemicellulase by mixed culture of Trichoderma reesei D 1-6 and Aspergillus wentii Pt 2804

Journal Article · · Biotechnol. Bioeng.; (United States)

Significant increase in extracellular cellulase and hemicellulase activities was observed in the biosynthesis of cellulase enzyme in mixed culture fermentation of Trichoderma reesei D 1-6 and Aspergillus wentii Pt 2804 when the A. wentii inoculation was phased by 15 hours. The optimal conditions of fermentation by the mixed culture have been established. Presence of mannanase has been found to affect the release as well as activity of cellulase enzyme produced in mixed culture.
