Application of cellulase enzyme obtained from fermentation of sewage sludge on rice straw into sugar
One of the major applications of cellulase lies in the process of hydrolysis of cellulosic or lignocellulosic material to produce sugar which can be further fermented to produce ethanol. This study focuses on the application of cellulases produced from fermentation broth of sewage sludge on lignocel...
