Cellulase Enzyme Production from Filamentous Fungi and in Submerged Fermentation with Rice Straw.

Fungi are a diverse group of microorganisms that play many roles in human livelihoods. However, the isolation of potential fungal species is the key factor to their utilization in different sectors, including the enzyme industry. Hence, in this study, we used two different fungal repositories-soil and weed leaves-to isolate filamentous fungi and evaluate their potential to produce the cellulase enzyme.
