(India), was evaluated for endocellulase enzyme production
through solid state fermentation (SSF) using bajra straw as main
carbon source. Various cultural conditions such as temperature,
pH, moisture content, incubation period, nitrogen source, inoculum
age and size, etc. were standardized for optimum enzyme
production. Using 3 g bajra straw as sole carbon source maximum
endocellulase production from 96 hr old A. niger HD-6 was
achieved at pH 5.0, incubation temperature 28°C and moisture
content 65% after incubation for 4 days.
