Abstract
The growing interest in microbial cellulases in recent years arises from their potential use for industrial saccharifice tion of cellulosic substrates and for SCP (single cell protein) production. Microorganisms producing enzymes hydrolyzing cellulose are widely distributed amongst various taxe. Thus the ability to utilize cellulose is found among bacteria, actinomycetes, ond fungi. However, comparatively little efforts have been imposed on the cellulases of halophytic fungi. In the Microbiological laboratory of the gatany Department of the University at Alexandria, screening of some enzyme activities of a variety of molds isolated from saline localities had been previously made Of these molds, Monodictys cestaneae, Stachybotrys Btra end Ulactadium chartarum exhibited a noticeable cellulolytic activities. It is the aim of the present work to characterize precisely the formation of the cellulolytic enzymes during the growth of a selected fungus of these halophytes. The influence of the culturing conditions, salts concentrations well as the nature of cellulosic substrates were alsa investigated systematically. The work was also extended.
