Abstract

This work represents the optimization of agricultural waste the production of cellulase using filamentous fungi Myrothecium verrucaria has been adopted. Solid sate fermentation a potential technology for production of cellulase utilizing agricultural residues. All experiments were carried out in triplicate and mean values are reported. The appropriate incubation period is one of the important parameters for cellulase production in solid state fermentation and is governed by microorganism. The result shows that optimum incubation period is important factor for production of cellulase from agriculturalwaste. The maximum cellulase activity has been recorded after 3 days of fermentation.
