A STATISTICAL STRATEGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CELLULASE, XYLANASE AND -AMYLASE BY CLADOSPORIUM CLADOSPORIOIDES.

Abstract

Agro wastes such as carrot peels are economical abundantly and naturally available easily. The present study was aimed for the production of cellulase, xylanase and a-amylase simultaneously using carrot peels. Cladosporium cladosporioides was isolated from soil. It was observed that the fungi displayed high production of cellulase, xylanase and a-amylase using economical substrate such as carrot peel. Cellulase increased up to 1.74U/mL with an approximate of 2.8 fold improvement over the previous production of 0.62 U/mL and xylanase increased up to 19.2 U/mL with an approximate of 2.2 fold over the previous production of 8.43 U/mL. The optimization of media led to 2.5 fold increased in a-amylase activity up to 0.639U/mL over the previous production 0.24 U/mL.
