Cellulolytic activity of moulds. IV. Evaluation of the utility of cellulosic wastes for biosynthesis of cellulases and xylanase by Aspergillus terreus F-413.

The value of various cellulosic wastes for the synthesis of cellulolytic enzymes by the mould Aspergillus terreus F-413 was determined in submerged culture. The best results were obtained by using beet pulp. The dynamics of their synthesis was observed during a 12-day culture on the medium most favourable for the synthesis of cellulases.
