Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cultures of Aspergillus fumigatus IMI 246651, ATCC 46324 produced larger amounts of extracellular xylanase and cellulase when grown on hay or straw than when grown on CF11 cellulose. The organism produced xylanase enzymes when grown on partially purified xylans but the amount of cellulase produced was much reduced.
