Abstract
The present invention provides a novel cellulase-producing fungus, i.e. Acremonium cellulolyticus CF-2612 strain or a mutant thereof, which has an ability to produce cellulase so highly, a method for producing cellulase and/or hemicellulase by culturing said fungus, and a method for degrading or saccharifying biomass using the cellulase and/or hemicellulase.
Claims12
An Acremonium cellulolyticus strain selected from the group consisting of Acremonium cellulolyticus CF-2612 strain (FERM BP-7.0848) and mutants thereof, characterized in that said strain has an ability to produce cellulase more highly than the known Acremonium cellulolyticus C1 strain (FERM P-18508).
