Summary:博士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 農業化學系 === 82 === In order to improve the utilization of cellulosic agricultural wastes, this thesis is concerned with the study of the feasibility of cellulase production by solid state fermentation using corn cobs as substrate. In this study, different fungi and Streptomyces were tested. Results had shown that those organisms that produced high cellulase activity in liquid state fermentation were also effective in producing cellulase in solid state fermentation. So, we decided to select Trichoderma reesei ATCC 26921 (QM 9414), T. album, Penicillium funiculosum ATCC 11797, Aspergillus niger ATCC 108764, Streptomyces aureofaciens ATCC 10762 to study further. Optimal conditions for producing cellulase in solid fermentation were as follows: initial moisture 60-65% and initial pH 3.5 for fungal cellulase production; in initial pH 4.0 -5.0 for Streptomyces cellulase prduction. The incubation temperature was 25-30℃, for all tested organisms.Study on the effect of C/N on cellulase production from tested organisms showed that organic nitrogen source in C/N 20 can improve cellulase production. For cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei ATCC 26921 (QM 9414) using corn cobs as substrate in solid state fermentation, we gained high cellulase activity by 40-60% ammonium sulfate precipitation and to purify by Sephadex G100 followed by DEAE Sephadex A50. Some properties of purified cellulase were analyzed. The purified cellulase from T. reesei ATCC 26921 (QM 9414) was the most activity at pH 5.0 and at 60℃. The optimal pH for S. aureofaciens cellulase was 5.0. The optimal temperature for CMCase and avicelase from S. aureofaciens was 60℃, and the optimal temperature for β-flucosidase and filter paper activity was 50℃.
