Fusarium oxysporum, isolated from infected tomato plant parts, produced maximum cellulase at optimum parameters (pH,
6.0; temp., 50C; and incubation period, 12 d) in cellulase enzyme production broth having 1% CMC (carboxy methyl cellulose)
as a cellulose substrate. Activities of purified cellulases (mol wt, 24, 29 and 45 kDa) were stimulated by concentrations (0-70 mM)
of Na+ and Mg++, while EDTA inhibited enzyme activity at all concentrations.
