About this document
Cellulase Production from Fruit Waste by Hamka Nurkaya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study on cellulase enzyme production by Streptomyces sp. using fruit waste as a substrate. Key findings: 1) Streptomyces sp. S7 was isolated from decayed fruit waste and shown to be a potent cellulase producer, exhibiting a clear zone of 25mm on cellulose agar. 2) Under solid state fermentation using fruit waste, S7 produced 38 units/ml of cellulase enzyme with 360 μg/ml of reducing sugars. 3) Cellulase production was highest at pH 5 and 40°C, with over 50% activity maintained
