Application of semi-quantitative and quantitative methods for the selection of cellulolytic filamentous fungi isolated from pulp mill materials

摘要

A semi-quantitative method (the enzymatic activity index, EI) and a quantitative method (the amount of reducing sugars, RS) have been used for selecting cellulolytic microorganisms. The analysis was performed with 90 isolates of filamentous fungi selected from pulp mill materials. In both methods 1% low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (1% CMC l.v.) was used as a substrate. For n = 90, no correlation between the parameters has been found.
