In order to construct cellulolytic fungal mixed cultures, screening and isolation of cellulolytic fungi was done using rotten oil palm fruit bunches as microorganism source. Three isolated fungi had shown the ability to degrade cellulose based on decolorization of CMC selective agar using Gram’s iod...
