The treatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber for subsequent use as substrate for cellulase production by aspergillus terreus suk-1

Cellulases are important in industrial enzyme which is a main part in industrial process such as in bio-bleaching and bioethanol production. Nowadays, our country encourages the production of bioethanol from the biomass material such as oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber in order to enhance the resour...

Nowadays, our country encourages the production of bioethanol from the biomass material such as oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber in order to enhance the resources of ethanol production and reduce the cost.In this project, oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber was used as a substrate for the production of cellulase enzyme by Aspergillus terreus SUK-1.
