Plant waste hydrolysis by extracellular enzymes of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogemum: Effect of ammonia pretreatment
Aspergillus niger (ANL301) and Penicillium chrysogenum (PCL 501) cultured in basal media with cellulose as sole carbon source yielded extracellular enzymes which partially hydrolyzed sawdust and sugarcane pulp into simple sugars. Pre-treatment of sawdust by ammonium hydroxide steeping increased the yield of simple sugars. The reducing
sugars released from the pretreated sawdust by the crude...
