The feasibility of using treated oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre as a substrate for cellulase production by Chaetomium globosum Kunze was studied using a shaking flask fermentation system. The use of 2-mm chemically untreated OPEFB fibre increased cellulase production by about two times com...
