Abstract


Among the fungi isolated from spoiled copra, Botryodiplodia theobromae, Aspergillus flavus and, A. niger produced more cellulolytic enzyme (C1) while Curvularia senegalensis and penicillium citrinum produced more Cx enzyme. The enzyme activity increased with the period of incubation and was maximum on 16th day. In vivo preparations showed very little activity.
