Cellulase production by the fungi Trichoderma reesei was studied using sugar beet pulp (SBP) as a substrate. Data showed that SBP has a potential converted to cellulase. The effects of cellulose concentration on cellulase production wasinvestigated. Using mentioned medium composition in this paper and a fermentation time of 4-6 days, a maximum cellulaseproduction activity of 0.46 IU/ml of filter paper activity was obtained.
