TY - JOUR AU - Agrawal SHWETA PY - 2015/01/31 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Solid state fermentation for cellulase production JF - Biotechnological Research JA - BR VL - 1 IS - 1 SE - Reviews DO - UR - http://br.biomedpress.org/index.php/br/article/view/691 AB - Successful utilization of cellulosic material as a renewable carbon source depends on the development of economically feasible process technologies for the production of cellulose. This enzyme has various industrial applications and is now considered as major group of industrial enzyme. The review discusses the advantages of cellulase production by solid state fermentation as compared to submerged fermentation, the types of cellulolytic bacteria and different agro-industrial wastes utilized for cellulose production. The biotechnological aspect of cellulase research and their future prospects are also discussed. ER -
