Abstract High yielding mutant strain, Trichoderma reesei QM-9414, was employed for the cellulase enzyme production. Enzyme production conditions (pH, inoculum age and concentration, and organic supplements) were optimized. The ability of partially purified enzyme to hydrolyze various regionally abundant lignocellulosic raw materials was studied. Enzymatic hydrolysis conditions (temperature, pH, enzyme and substrate concentrations) were optimized. Temperature 50 °C, pH 4.5, enzyme concentration 40 FPU/g substrate and substrate concentration 2.5% were found to be optimum for the maximum yields of sugars. β-glucosidase supplementation was found to increase both the sugar yield and hydrolysis rate, and shorten the reaction time significantly.
