Cellulose undergoes hydrolysis utilizing chemicals to deliver glucose, which might be utilized for the production of ethanol, organic acids, and various chemicals. Cellulases are a collection of hydrolytic catalysts that can hydrolyze the most plentiful natural polymer for example cellulose into smaller sugar components including glucose subunits. Cellulase is overpriced and contributes simply half to the general expense of hydrolysis because of the low explicit activity. This enzyme has enormous potential in industries and its use in food, beverages, textile, laundry, paper, and mash industries, and so forth. Consequently, there has been a lot of examination focused on new microorganisms producing cellulose enzymes with higher specific activities and greater efficiency. Currently, work is pointed toward screening and disconnecting cellulolytic growths from the marine samples gathered from the Bay of Bengal, Puri coast, Odisha. All out 7 fungi were isolated from these dirt examples, out of which 2 fungi were portraying the extensive cellulase activity. The fungal isolate, for example, MWF-1 andMSF-6 isolated from water silt respectively were recognized to show the most extreme zone of hydrolysis of carboxy-methyl cellulose. The cellulase activity was assayed by Carboxymethylcellulose "CMCase" (endoglucanase) measure.

Abstract Cellulases are a complex of enzymes necessary for the complete solubilization of cellulose in sugars, thus playing a key role in the natural carbon cycle through the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the increase in the capacity of Talaromyces amestolkiae CMIAT 055 to produce cellulases by optimizing the components of the culture medium containing banana pseudostem as an inducer, as well as in different agitation configurations in a bioreactor. Optimization was performed through statistical experimental design (Plackett-Burman and DCCR), a study of pH control in bioreactors, and a study of the agitation system by comparing impellers with different flow profiles in the liquid medium. For this purpose, a wild strain of Talaromyces amestolkiae CMIAT 055 was used. In the Plackett-Burman and DCCR statistical design, four components of the culture medium were significant and optimized for greater synthesis of FPase: banana pseudostem, CaCl2, KH2PO4, and urea. In bioreactors tests, these parameters were beneficial for greater enzyme activities: maintenance of pH at 5.0, use of Pitched blade impeller, and rotation speed at 300 rpm. Comparing the first test using banana pseudostem in an Erlenmeyer flask to the last fermentation process in bioreactors, it was observed that the total cellulase activity increased from 424.7 FPU/L to 2172.8 FPU/L. This fact showed that the strategies adopted in this study are a pertinent way to reduce the cost of enzyme production through the use of lignocellulosic materials.

Cellulase production by Aureobasidium pullulans from the temperate regions has remained speculative, with most studies reporting no activity at all. In the current study, tropical isolates from diverse sources were screened for cellulase production. Isolates were grown on a synthetic medium containing cell walls of Msasa tree (Brachystegia sp.) as the sole carbon source, and their cellulolytic activities were measured using carboxymethyl cellulose and α-cellulose as substrates. All isolates studied produced carboxymethyl cellulase (endoglucanase) and alpha-cellulase (exoglucanase) activity. Endoglucanase-specific activities of ten selected isolates ranged from 2.375 to 12.884 µmol glucose·(mg protein)–1·h–1, while activities on α-cellulose (exoglucanase activity) ranged from 0.293 to 22.442 µmol glucose·(mg protein)–1·day–1. Carboxymethyl cellulose induced the highest cellulase activity in the selected isolates, while the isolates showed variable responses to nitrogen sources. The current study indicates that some isolates of A. pullulans of tropical origin produce significant extracellular cellulolytic activity and that crude cell walls may be good inducers of cellulolytic activity in A. pullulans.Key words: Aureobasidium pullulans, plant cell wall, cellulases, endoglucanase, exoglucanase.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose-containing raw materials, using Aspergillus niger, were studied. Filter paper, secondary cellulose-containing or starch-containing raw materials, miscanthus cellulose after alkaline or acid pretreatment, and wood chip cellulose, were used as substrates. The study focused on a wild A. niger strain, treated, or not (control), by ultraviolet (UV) irradiations for 45, 60, or 120 min (UV45, UV60, or UV120), or by UV irradiation for 120 min followed by a chemical treatment with NaN3 + ItBr for 30 min or 80 min (UV120 + CH30 or UV120 + CH80). A mixture of all the A. niger strains (MIX) was also tested. A citrate buffer, at 50 mM, wasthe most suitable for enzymatic hydrolysis. As the UV exposure time increased to 2 h, the cellulase activity of the surviving culturewas increased (r = 0.706; p < 0.05). The enzymatic activities of the obtained strains, towards miscanthus cellulose, wood chips, and filter paper, were inferior to those obtained with commercial enzymes (8.6 versus 9.1 IU), in some cases. Under stationary hydrolysis at 37 °C, pH = 4.7, the enzymatic activity of A. niger UV120 + CH30 was 24.9 IU. The enzymatic hydrolysis of secondary raw materials, using treated A. niger strains, was themost effective at 37 °C. Similarly, the most effective treatment of miscanthus cellulose and wood chips occurred at 50 °C. The maximum conversion of cellulose to glucose was observed using miscanthus cellulose (with alkaline pretreatment), and the minimum conversion was observed when using wood chips. The greatest value of cellulase activity was evidenced in the starch-containing raw materials, indicating that A. niger can ferment not only through cellulase activity, but also via an amylolytic one.

Seven fractions obtained from wheat gluten by chromatography on carboxy~ methyl-cellulose were studied by ultracentrifugation, gel electrophoresis, chemical, and N-terminal amino acid analysis. On rechromatography, five fractions eluted by sodium chloride behaved as distinct entities. illtracentrifuge experiments indicated that four of these were each undergoing rapid, reversible association. Several N-terminal amino acids were found in each of the fractions which, moreover, could be resolved by the gel technique into a number of electrophoretic bands, some bands being common to those of neighbouring fractions. Total nitrogen values showed the chromatographic samples to be essentially free from non-protein material.

Purpose With respect to two new subjects, i.e. nanofluids and microchannels, in heat transfer systems and modern techniques used for building them, this paper aims to study on effect of using aluminum oxide nanoparticles in non-Newtonian fluid of aqueous solution of carboxy-methyl cellulose in microtube and through application of different slip coefficients to achieve various qualities on surface of microtube. Design/methodology/approach Simultaneously, the effect of presence of nanoparticles and phenomenon of slip and temperature jump has been explored in non-Newtonian nanofluid in this essay. The assumption of homogeneity of nanofluid and fixed temperature of wall in microtube has been used in modeling processes. Findings The results have been presented as diagrams of velocity, temperature and Nusselt Number and the investigations have indicated that addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid and increase in microtube slip coefficient might improve rate of heat transfer in microtube. Originality/value The flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid of aqueous solution of carboxy methyl cellulose-aluminum oxide has been determined in a microtube for the first time.
