Chemical and physical treatments for cellulosic wastes degradation currently suffer several setbacks that limit its application in the management of palm oil-related wastes. This study isolated and screened fungal strains capable of degrading raw oil palm mesocarp fibre (OPMF). The fungal strains we...
