Comparison of enzymatic hydrolysis yield of alkali pretreated rice straw by the crude enzyme of Aspergillus fumigatus NITDGPKA3 with other fungi.

Enzyme source	Substrate	Enzyme load (U/g dry substrate)	Reducing sugar (g/g dry substrate)	Reference
Fomitopsis sp.RCK2010	Rice straw	25 (FPase)	0.1572 g/g dry substrate	[9]
Fomitopsis sp.RCK2010	Wheat straw	25 (FPase)	0.2141 g/g dry substrate	[9]
Aspergillus fumigatus Z5	Corn stover	250 (CMCase)	0.450 g/g dry substrate	[22]
T. reesei ZU-02	Corncob	20 (FPU)	<60 g/L	[28]
Combination of commercial enzymes (Celluclast, Novozyme 188, Viscostar 150 L, Pectinase solids)	Wheat straw	50.88 (CMCase)	0.565 g/g dry substrate	[29]
Aspergillus fumigatus NITDGPKA3	Rice straw	40 (CMCase)	0.522 g/g dry substrate~10.44 g/L	Present study
