PRODUCTION OF CELLULASES BY THE THERMOPHILIC FUNGUS, THIELAVIA TERRESTRIS

摘要

ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSUREA thermostable cellulase preparation exhibiting C1and Cx cellulytic activities at a temperature fromabout 60° to about 70°C at a moderately acid pHfrom about 5.0 to about 5.6 is obtained by culturingthe thermophilic fungus Thielavia terrestris (NRRL8126) in a suitable cellulose-containing medium andrecovering the cellulases thus produced.
