Characterization and bioactivities of carboxymethyl cellulase produced by alcaligenes faecalis using disposed x-ray film as the substrate

Cellulase is a beneficial enzyme that has been long used in production of animal feed, in the formulation of detergents, juice clarification, paper manufacturing and wine production. Nowadays, production of cellulases enzyme from the bioconversion of cellulosic waste has been extensively practiced....

Nowadays, production of cellulases enzyme from the bioconversion of cellulosic waste has been extensively practiced.

The objectives of this project are (i) to isolate, screen and identify microorganisms from water, soil and food sources, thus select on most potent isolates, (ii) to optimize the effect of bacterial isolates using disposed x-ray film as the substrate on cellulase production, and (iii) to purify and characterize the bioactivity of cellulose. The samples of Panching Soil (PS1) and Chicken Liver (CL8A) were selected as the most potent isolates after screening from 27 initial isolates. After optimization of CMCase and avicelase productions, only CMCase was selected for further process as it preferred the x-ray film as substrate.
