Cellulose hydrolysis and cellulase adsorption after pretreatment of cellulose materials

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Abstract

A number of cellulosic materials were chemically and physically treated before being incubated with cellulase from Penicillium funiculosum. The most effective pretreatment for maximum increase in enzyme adsorption and rate of saccharification was a combination of homogenisation-ultrasonification-NaOH (10% w/v) treatment.
