A Thermostable Crude Endoglucanase Produced by Aspergillus fumigatus in a Novel Solid State Fermentation Process Using Isolated Free Water

Figure 1

Prototype fermentor: the Erlenmeyer flask contained solid substrate (wheat straw) and inoculum along with a test tube half filled with water. Continuous presence of liquid water during the course of fermentation process ensured a constant vapour pressure inside the fermentation chamber.
