Three conmmercial cellulases prepared from Penicillium notatum(cellulalse[K]), Trichoderma viride(cellulase[J]) and Aspergillus niger(cellulase[A]) were nalyzed with respect to their relative purity, activity and the effects of several metal ions on their activities. The activity of cellulase[K] was the strongest of all and that of cellulase[A] being the weaker. The purity of cellulalse[K] was the highest while that of cellulase[J] was the lowest. Under the assay conditions, the optimum concentrations of $Zn^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ions for the activity of cellulase[K] was the highest while that of cellulase[J] was the lowest. Under the assay conditions, the optimum concentrations of $Zn^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ions for the activity of cellulalse[K] was the highest while that of cellulase [A] being weaker. The purity of cellulase[K] was the highest while that of cellulase[J] was the lowest. Under the assay conditions, the optimum concentrations of $Zn^{++}$ and $MG^{++}$ ions for the activity of cellulase[K] were 2 and 7mM while those of cellulase[A] were 5 and 6 mM respectively and those of cellulase[J] were 3mM for both ions. Cellulase[K] and cellulase[J] were more strongly activated by $Zn^{++}$ than $Mg^{++}$ and cellulase[J] by $Mg^{++}$ than $Zn^{++}$. Both $Cu^{++}$ and $Mn^{++}$ ions inhibited by these metal ions. the inhibitory effects of $Mn^{++}$ ions for enzyme activities were stronger than $Cu^{++}$ ions. The Ki values of $Cu^{++}$ and $Mn^{++}$ for cellulase[K] were found to be 6.1 and 0.7mM, those of cellulase[J] were 2.6 and 0.32 mM, and those of cellulalse[A] were 2.0 and 0.2 mM respectively. Both $Cu^{++}$ and $Mn^{++}$ ions showed a pattrn of competitive inhibition of the enzyme activity. When Na-CMC was used as substrate, the Km and V values of celluase [K] were calculated to be $2.0{\times}10^{-4}mM$ and 3.43mmoles/hour, those of cellulase[J] were $2.4{\times}10^{-4}mM$ and 3.77mmoles/hour, and those of cellulase[A] were $4.0{\times}10^{-4}mM$ and 4.00mmoles/hour respectively.

Cellulase production by fed-batch cultivation of Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 with various initial concentrations of Solka Floc in 1 % wheat bran-containing medium was investigated. The cellulase activity and productivity increased with initial Solka Floc concentration up to 5%. When a total Solka Floc concentration of 90 g/l was used for cellulase production, CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) and FP (filter paper) activities, productivity, and yield were 359.7 U/ml, 30.61 U/ml, 161 FPU $L^{-1}$ $h^{-1}$, and 340 FPU $g^{-1}$, respectively. It was important to maintain a high cell concentration during cellulase production to obtain high cellulase activity and productivity. Cellulase powder was prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation: FP activity was 396.7 U/g and CMC activity was 6481 U/g.

A novel bacterial strain, MG7, with high cellulase activity was isolated and identified by morphological characteristics and molecular phylogeny analysis as Paenibacillus barcinonensis. Maximum production of cellulase by MG7 was observed at pH 7.0 and $35^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was purified with a specific activity of 16.88 U/mg, the cellulase activity was observed in a zymogram, and its molecular mass (58.6 kDa) was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The purified enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 6.0 and $65^{\circ}C$ and degraded cellulosic substrates such as carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), Avicel, filter paper, and ${\beta}$-glucan. The enzyme showed stability with 0.5% concentration of various surfactants. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ of cellulase for CMC and Avicel were found to be 0.459mg/ml and 10.46mg/ml/h, and 1.01 mg/ml and 10.0 mg/ml/h, respectively. The high catalytic activity and its stability to temperature, pH, surfactants, and metal ions indicated that the cellulase enzyme by MG7 is a good candidate for biotechnological applications.

A bacterium, isolated from rabbit's waste and identified as Cellulomonas sp., had cellulase and thermostable $\alpha$-amylase activity when grown on wheat bran. Maximum activity of thermostable $\alpha$-amylase was obtained by adding $3\%$ soluble starch. However, soybean oil (1 ml $1^{-1}$) could increase the production of $\alpha$-amylase and cellulase in 'wheat bran. The $\alpha$-amylase was characterized by making a . demonstration of optimum activity at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH 6- 9, with soluble starch as a substrate. The effect of ions on the activity and the stability of this enzyme were investigated. This strain secreted carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), cellobiase ($\beta$­glucosidase), and filter paperase (Fpase) during growth on wheat bran. Carboxymethy1cellulase, cellobiase, and Fpase activities had pH optima of 6, 5.5, and 6, respectively. CMCase and cellobiase activities both had an optimum temperature of $50^{\circ}C$, whereas Fpase had an optimum temperature of $45^{\circ}C$.

Biological deinking process of used papers was studied by the polymer modified cellulase. Cellulase was modified with copolymers which consist of polyoxyethylene derivative and maleic anhydride(MA). The MA functional groups of copolymer can react with amino acids groups of the cellulase without much loss of activity. Modified degree of amino acids was controlled by the added copolymer. The maximum modified degree was about 60% and it was obtained when the weight ratio of copolymer and cellulase was 4. The remained activity of the maximum modified cellulase(MMC) was higher than 80% of native cellulase. The MMC's concentration was 0.05-2.0 wt% relative to the dry paper. In mechanical pulping process, cellulase enhanced the detachment of the ink particle from the used paper by partial hydrolysis of the fiber. The polyoxyethylene of modified cellulase produced the forms which can float the separated ink particle. Compared to the convention deinking method with NaOH or organic chemicals, the new biological deinnking process improved the physical properties such as freeness, tearing strength and whiteness.

Cellulase is the key enzyme in the use of cellulose-based biomaterials. Because of its structure, cellulose is difficult to be degraded by enzymes. In order to utilize cellulose-based biomaterials efficiently, evolutionary wisdom of how to use enzymes accurately and harmoniously in a biological system is needed, such as the cellulose digestive system in animals. In this study, the symbiotic bacteria from snails, Achatina fulica, were identified and their cellulase activity was evaluated. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis of 100 aerobic bacteria showed that they belonged to 9 genus and almost half of the bacteria were Lactococcus spp. Among 100 identified strains, only two Aeromonas sp. strains showed cellulase activity. Aeromonas sp. KMBS020 had both endo-${\beta}$-glucanase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities but Aeromonas sp. KMBS018 had ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity only. None of the 100 bacterial colonies had any cellobiohydrolase activity.

Maximum cellulase production was sought by comparing the activities of the cellulases produced by different Trichoderma reesei strains and Aspergillus niger. Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 showed higher cellulase activity than other Trichoderma reesei stains and Aspergillus niger that was isolated from soil. By optimizing the cultivation conditions during shake flask culture, higher cellulase production could be achieved. The FP(filter paper) activity of 3.7U/ml and CMCase (Carboxymethylcellulase) activity of 60U/ml were obtained from shake flask culture. When it was grown in 2.5L fermentor, where pH and DO levels are controlled, the enzyme activities were 133.35U/ml (CMCase) and 11.67U/ml(FP), respectively. Ammonium sulfate precipitation method was used to recover enzymes from fermentation broth. The dried cellulase powder showed 3074.9U/g of CMCase activity and 166.7U/g of FP activity with 83.5% CMCase recovery.

Several process parameters were studied to ascertain the effect on degradation of sugar cane bagasse in relation to the production of cellulase enzyme and reducing sugars by Solid Substrate Fermentation (SSF) and Submerged Culture Fermentation (SCF) of Aspergillus terreus SUK-1. The effect of air-flow rate (0-1.3 v/v/m), of different ratios of substrate weight to liquid volume (1:6, 1:10, 1:20, and 1:30 w/v, g/ml), scale-up effect (10, 20, and 100 times of 1:10 ration, w/v) and the effect of temperature (30, 40, 50, and $60^{\circ}C$) in SSF were studied. Air-flow rate of 1.0 v/v/m gave the highest enzyme activity (FPase 0.25 IU/ml, CMCase 1.24 IU/ml) and reducing sugars concentration (0.72 mg/ml). Experiment using 1:10 ratio (w/v) was found to support maximum cellulase activity (FPase 0.58 IU/ml, CMCase 1.97 IU/ml) and reducing sugar concentration (1.23 mg/ml). Scaling-up the ratio of 1:10(w/v) by a factor of 20 gave the highest cellulase activity (FPase 0.71 IU/ml, CMCase 2.25 IU/ml) and reducing sugar concentration (3.67 mg/ml). The optimum temperature for cellulase activity and reducing sugar production was $50^{\circ}C$(FPase 0.792 IU/ml, CMCase 2.25 IU/ml and 3.85 mg/ml for reducing sugar concentration). For SCF, the activity of cellulase enzyme and reducing sugar concentration was found to be lower than that obtained for SSF. The highest cellulase activity obtained in SCF was 50% lower than the highest cellulase activity in SSF, while for reducing sugar concentration, the highest concentration obtained in SCF was 90% lower than that obtained in SSF.

The effect of the addition of wheat bran to the growth medium on the production of cellulolytic enzymes of Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 was studied in batch culture using shake flasks. The activity of cellulase was enhanced by the addition of wheat bran to the cellulase production medium. $KH_2PO_4$-$K_2HPO_4$ buffer was used for pH control during cellulase production. As a result, high cellulase activities were obtained in shake flask culture; a CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) activity of 125.78 U/ml was obtained from 2% Avicel- and 3% wheat bran-containing medium and an FP (filter paper) activity of 12.85U/ml was obtained from 1% Avicel- and 5% wheat bran-containing medium after 6 days of cultivation.
