The cellulases production in solid state fermentation (SSF) of Trichoderma harzianum FJ1 with high cellulases productivity using cellulosic wastes was investigated. Physical and chemical conditions of the fermentation, such as moisture content, initial pH, and composition of mixed substrate (wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour) on FPase (Filter paper activity) production were examined. The enzyme production was optimized in the conditions of moisture content of 70%, pH 5.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, and 1:1:1 composition of mixed substrate containing wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour. The highest activities of FPA, CMCase, Xylanase, $\beta$-glucosidase, and Avicelase in the optimized culture conditions were 15.2, 69.1, 83.9, 29.2, and 4.2 unit/g-SDW in 5 day cultivation, respectively. Economical and efficient production of cellulolytic enzymes by T harzianum FJ1 using cellulosic wastes in solid state fermentation will contribute to the biological saccharification of cellulosic wastes with enormous potential resource value in future.

The effects of water soluble materials in paper mill sludge on cellulase and $\beta$-glucosidase activities were studied while the optimization of enzyme system for hydrolysis of the paper mill sludge for production of glucose was made. Water soluble materials in the paper mill sludge showed stimulatory effect on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) activity, inhibitory effect on filter paper (FP) activity, and no effect on avicelase and $\beta$-glucosidase activities. CMC and ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities at 5 and 10, 5 or 10 and 10, and 10 and 10 U/ml were optimal for hydrolysis of 5, 10, and 20% of the paper mill sludge, respectively.

A moderately thermophilic, alkalophlic and powerful crystalline cellulose-digesting bacterium, Bacillus K-12, was isolated from filter paper wastes and found to be similar to Bacillus circulans or Bacillus pumilis, except for its ability to grow at a moderately high pH and temperature. The isolate grew at a pH ranging from 6 to 10 and at a temperature ranging from 35 to $65^{\circ}C$ and produced a large amount of cellulase components containing avicelase, xylanase, CMCase, and FPase when grown in avicel medium for 5 to 7 days at $50^{\circ}C$. The crude enzyme preparation from the culture broth hydrolyzed xylan, raw starch, pullulan and ${\beta}-1,3$ glucan such as laminarin. Furthermore, the enzyme hydrolyzed crystalline cellulose to cellobiose and glucose and had a broad pH activity curve (pH 6~9). The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$.

The changes in the activities of Cellulase and Xylanase of A. phoencis during the life cycle were surveyed by using synchronized culture technique. Avicelase activity of the fungus was reached at peak in the initial hyphal growth stage, but decreased gradually during the conidiophore formation, vesicle-phialide formation, and sporulation stages in decreasing order. CMCase, Salicinase, and Xylanase activities were raised very high in the initial hyphal growth stage, but decreased gradually in conidiophore formation and vesicle-phialide formation stages, and then increased, more or less, in the sporulation stage.

The purpose of this study was to isolate cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic anaerobic bacteria inhabiting from gut of ruminants and investigate their hydrolytic enzyme activities. Extracellular CMCase activities of H-strains isolated from the rumen of a Holstein dairy cow were higher than those of D- and DC- strains from the rumen and large intestine of Korean spotted deer. Most isolated bacteria utilized more efficiently Dehority's artificial medium containing starch, glucose and cellobiose (DAS) than those in Dehority's artificial medium containing cellulose only (DAC). The results of biochemical reactions and sugar fermentation indicated that the isolated bacteria belong to one of bacterial strains of Peptostreptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Prevotela ruminicola/buccae, Clostridium beijer/butyricum and Streptococcus intermedis which are not highly cellulolytic. Activities of Avicelase, xylanase, β-D-glucosidase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase and β-xylosidase of the isolated anaerobic bacteria in DAS were higher than those in DAC. In conclusion, the results indicated the higher enzyme activities of the isolated strains cultured in DAS medium were mainly caused by their specific carbohydrate utilization for enzyme production and growth rate. The highly cellulolytic bacteria were not isolated in the present experiment. Thus further research is required to investigate characteristics of gut bacteria from Korean spotted deer.

The yield of cellulase derived from Trichoderma $(O_2-1)$ was remarkably varied with various concentration of ethanol and acetone in purification of the enzyme. In the purification with ethanol of ${\beta}-glucosidase$, the best result was obtained in the concentration of 60% and, of CMCase and of filter paper disintegrating enzyme 80%. And in the purification with acetone of ${\beta}-glucosidase$, filter paper disintegrating enzyme, and CMCase, in the concentration of 60%, 80%, and 90% respectively, was shown the best yield. The activities of crude Cellulase preparation could be seperated into few of fractions by column chromatography with Silica gel, Cellulose powder, and gauze. Most of CMCase, avicelase, and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ were eluted, but most of filter paper disintegrating enzyme and the rest of enzymes mentioned the above were absorbed, and were eluted with water. Therefore, it was considered that CMCase is different from filter paper disintegrating enzyme in properties. The relative activity of CMCase was different from that of avicelase in the peak of elusion part. And it was considered that filter paper disintegrating enzyme and cellulose powder saccharifying enzyme was seperated respectively as absorption part and non absorption part. The auther came to the conclusion that at least there were more than three sorts of cellulase in Trichoderma $(O_2-1)$ cellulase preparation.

Shiitake breeding requires the procedures of mating of two different parental strains and selection of hybrid strains that have good traits for the mushroom production. In this study, we tested the possibility of the use of chromogenic plate-based assay for extracellular enzyme production in order to assess and find good biochemical properties-possessed hybrid strains that were generated from genetic cross of the monokaryotic strains derived from two different parental strains of Lentinula edodes Sanjo-101ho and Sanjo-108ho. We observed that there was difference in the ability of producing ${\beta}$-glucosidase, avicelase, CM-cellulase, amylase, pectinase, xylanase, and protease among the monokaryotic strains. We could also comparatively assess that the ability of the seven extracellular enzymes production in the hybrid strains depended on the mating combination of the monokaryotic strains. Our results demonstrate that the assessment method for extracellular enzyme production using chromogenic plate assay could be usefully applied to the assessment of the hybrid strains derived from the breeding procedure of L. edodes.

$\beta$-Glucosidase of Cellulomonas sp. CS1-1 in cellular compartment was localized with cell-bound form while Avicelase and carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) were appeared with extracellular enzyme. Cell growth on cellulose or CMC minimal broth was increased by glucose addition. $\beta$-Glucosidase production on cellobiose or CMC minimal broth was repressed by the addition of glucose. However, on CMC minimal broth, the enzyme production was specially stimulated by cellobiose addition. $\beta$-Glucosidase production was also induced by CMC, starcth and maltose compared with glycerol, arabinose, xylose and trehalose. From the above results, it was concluded that glucose effect on $\beta$-glucosidase biosynthesis showed catabolite repression, but enzyme production was induced by cellobiose, CMC, and starch, indicating that $\beta$-glucosidase is inducible enzyme. Yeast extract stimulated $\beta$-glucosidase production more than peptone and ammonium sulfate. $\beta$-Glucosidase activity was increased with 50mM MgCl$_2$in 10mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Optimum conditions for enzyme activities were pH 6.0 and 42$^{\circ}C$, Km value of $\beta$-glucosidase for p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-glucosidase was 0.256mM and Ki for $\beta$-D(+)-glucose was 9.0mM.
