Statistical optimization of process conditions for cellulase production by liquid state bioconversion of domestic wastewater sludge

A two-level fractional factorial design (FFD) was used to determine the effects of six factors, i.e. substrate (domestic wastewater sludge – DWS) and co-substrate concentration (wheat flour – WF), temperature, initial pH, inoculum size and agitation rate on the production of cellulase enzyme by Tric...
