| Popis: | Background Cellulase is one of the enzymes commonly used in several agricultural, industrial and sewage sludge treatment processes. The present study aimed to investigate the potential use sludge generated from sewage treatment plants as a production medium for cellulase by B. megaterium strain that was isolated from a sewage treatment plant. The production of cellulase in the sludge medium was compared to different cellulosic materials: cotton, filter paper, bagasse and sawdust as well as to galactose, fructose, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, ribose, sucrose and xylose. The production of cellulase was conducted at optimum conditions (0.4 mL of the bacterial inoculum, 45 °C, 72 h, pH 6.5 and citrate phosphate buffer) that were determined in this study. |
