...tly higher activities of cellulases. Enzyme kinetics results demonstrated that Swl-strain had a maximum value of Vmax (68.4 Nm s-1) and lowest value of Km (12.8 g L-1). Fsd- and Swl-strains exhibited increased activities of amylases with Vmax value of 2.68 and 1.89 µM s-1 respectively and Km value of 23.8 g L-1 and 40.1 g L-1, respectively. These findings suggest that the increased activities of cellulases and amylases...

... can efficiently produce cellulases extracellularly while growing on cellulosic substrates. Wheat straw, by product of wheat crop has been used as lignocellulosic substrate. To determine the optimum conditions for maximum production, experiment was carried out at various substrate concentrations, temperatures and pH levels. Pretreatment of wheat straw resulted in highly digestible cellulose that lead to the increased production of cell...
