Growth and Cellulase Activity of Wild-type Aspergillus niger ANL301 in different Carbon Sources
A wild-type Aspergillus niger (ANL301) isolated from wood-waste in Lagos, Nigeria, produces extracellular proteins with cellulase (EC 3. 2. 1. 4) activity. Three different carbon sources (Glucose, Cellulose and Sawdust) influenced the organism’s growth and the production of extracellular cellulase enzymes. Best growth was obtained with glucose at 72 hours of incubation. The peak mycelia...
