Influence of different chemical pretreatments of elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum , Schum.) used as a substrate for cellulase and xylanase production in submerged cultivation
TL;DR: Results indicate that the pretreatment of elephant grass, especially when pretreated with H2SO4, may be used as a partial or total replacement for cellulose to cellulase production, and untreated elephant grass may be use for xylanase production.
