Isolation and Identification on a Thermoacidophilic Fungus of High-producing Cellulase and the Characteristics of its Enzyme

Abstract:

A novel Aspergillus terreus strain M11 was isolated from the compost containing cellulose and identified. The isolate grow best at 45℃ and pH2.0. It was found that the activity of the CMCase was up to 3.680IU/mL with high heat stability and the optimal reaction conditions of the CMCase were at 60℃ and pH2.0.
