Optimisation of immobilised cellulase onto carbon nanotubes using response surface methodology

Although, the cellulase enzyme can work with high catalysis under mild condition, however, it does not fulfill the industry requirement. In this study, cellulase obtained from the fermentation of sewage treatment plant (STP) sludge by Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30 was covalently immobilised on functio...
