ABSTRACT

Biodegradation of cellulose wastes by fungal or bacterial enzymatic activities represents a large area of research experiments concerning the influence of physical and biochemical factors that interfere in the cellular dynamics of such biotechnological processes 11]. A survey of these important factors could give much useful information about the optimal parameters of biodegradation in continuous culture systems in order to maximize the efficiency of these biotechnological procedures and to achieve increasing rates of biocomposting and bioconversion into useful products, using immobilized bacteria and fungi [2].
