A NOVEL STRAIN OF Aspergillus niger PRODUCING A COCKTAIL OF HYDROLYTIC DEPOLYMERISING ENZYMES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SECOND GENERATION BIOFUELS
The screening and isolation of fungi producing a cocktail of hydrolytic enzymes was studied.Among the various isolates obtained from different soil samples, a strain NS-2 was selected.The phylogenetic analysis of this strain showed highest homology (99%) with HONEYSUCKLE Aspergillus niger.It was capable of producing cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic,
