| Abstract: | Lignocellulose biomass was bioconverted with Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride to produce cellulase. Groundnut husk is a cheap and readily available substrate with potential for bioconversion. Cellulase production from alkali and biological pretreated groundnut husk was compared in this study. Rapid production of cellulase following FPase & CMCase derived from both organisms were observed. Enzymatic activities in all the pretreated GH increased steadily from day one and peaked at day seven. Biological pretreated GH showed significant (p<0.05) increase in total cellulase and endoglucanase yield (activity) than alkali pretreated GH. |
