Isolation of fungi producing Cellulases from Cocoa Pod (Theobroma Cacao L.)

Cellulases are a complex inducible enzyme that able to degrade cellulose. This study investigates the isolation of fungi producing cellulase from mouldy cocoa pod (Theobroma cacao L.). Screening of cellulolytic isolates by using a congo red test were carried out on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) agar...
