Fermentation optimization of cellulase production from sugarcane bagasse by Bacillus pseudomycoides and molecular modeling study of cellulase

Degradation of cellulosic carbon, the most important natural carbon reservoirs on this planet by cellulase is very essential for valuable soluble sugars. This cellulase has potential biotechnological applications in many industrial sectors. Thus the demand of cellulase is increasing more frequently than ever. Agro industrial byproducts and suitable microbes are of an important source for the production of cellulase. Bacillus pseudomycoides and sugarcane bagasse were used for the production of cellulase and different process parameters influencing the production of cellulase were optimized here. The bacterium showed maximum cellulase production in the presence of sugarcane bagasse, peptone and magnesium sulfate at pH 7, 40 °C in 72 h of incubation. Primary structures of the cellulase is consists of 400 amino acid…
