Popis: Addition of skim milk powder to Reese medium increased cellulolytic activity of T. reesei. Exoglucanase (filter paper) activity increased by 6.6, 5.3 and 2.2 folds when estimated on 5,10 and 15th day respectively in presence of skim milk (0.2%) as compared to its control without supplements. The endoglucanase (CMCase) activity improved in the same pattern. The xylanase activity increased by 2.3 fold when estimated on 5th day and maintained the improvement upto 10th day. The β-glucosidase activity remained unaltered. The cellulolytic activities of a few other fungal cultures improved in the same manner in the presence of skim milk.
