Production of cellulase by Serratia odoriferia in different conditions.

Abstract

Forty five serratia isolates were obtained from different clinical and non clinical specimens .The cellulase activity was comparedamong these isolates,one was selected according .to its maximum cellulase production was diagnosed as a Serretia odoriferia .The favorable conditions were observed in carboxymethyle cellulose (CMCase) medium supplied with 5% sucrose ,at pH 6.5 when it was inoculated with 5% cell/ml bacterial inoculum and for incubated in shaker incubater (120rpm) at 28c º for 72 hr.The specificactivity was 5 unite/mg protein at these conditions.
