Abstract:
The study, present the production of cellulase using agroindustrial waste, its purification and characterization. A fungal strain NSF-2 isolated from the plant litter produce high amount of cellulase. 15.59 fold purified enzyme achieved specific activity 71.421 U/mg. Under the optimum condition, Vmax and Km for the enzyme were 1.5 mg/ml/min and 3.2 mg/ml respectively. Purified cellulase stable in non-ionic surfactant like TWEEN -20, Triton X-100 on the other hand salt like urea, EDTA and SDS inhibited the enzyme activity up to 65%, 50% and 55% respectively. The study also reveals that Hg2+ is a non-competitive inhibitor of cellulase. The Vmax was decreasing with increasing concentration of metal inhibitor. The purified and crude cellulase produce by NSF-2 strain is well suitable in industrial application such as pulp and paper for waste paper recycling which also reduces the use of chemical thus help in waste water management also.
