Isolation of Cellulosic Microfungi Involved in Wood-Waste Decomposition: Prospects for Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Wastes
Wood-wastes from dump-sites at Okobaba Saw-mills on the western part of the Lagos lagoon were examined for
cellulolytic microorganisms. Cellulolytic microfungi were isolated from the wastes using minimal salt agar medium containing
0.2% (w/v) crystalline cellulose, sugarcane pulp, corn cob or saw-dust as sole carbon/energy source. The colonies of cellulolytic
microfungi which appeared on the...
