TLDR
A mutant of Sclerotium rolfsii CPC 142 that secretes about two times more filter paper-degrading activity in NM-2 growth medium in submerged cultures than the parent strain was obtained by ultraviolet mutagenesis of crushed sclerotia, and the production of endo-beta-glucanase in the mutant was affected to a lesser extent.Abstract:
A mutant of Sclerotium rolfsii CPC 142 that secretes about two times more filter paper-degrading activity in NM-2 growth medium in submerged cultures than the parent strain was obtained by ultraviolet mutagenesis of crushed sclerotia. The production of endo-beta-glucanase in the mutant was affected to a lesser extent. With the parent strain, the addition of 3% rice bran to NM-2 medium was essential for optimal formation of cellulase, including filter paper-degrading activity. However, with the mutant the addition of rice bran to NM-2 medium increased the formation of endo-beta-glucanase but not filter paper-degrading or cellobiase activity. An altered control mechanism for the production of filter paper-degrading enzymes is suggested. The genome(s) controlling the cellulase complex of enzymes in the UV-8 mutant is not under coordinate control.read more

Development of a mutant of Trichoderma citrinoviride for enhanced production of cellulases.
TL;DR: In vitro activity assay with partially purified cellulase showed lack of inhibition by glucose, and genetic distinction of the mutant was revealed by the presence of two unique amplicans in comparative DNA fingerprinting performed using 20 random primers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some of the constraints and problem areas of producing cellulase in quantity, including limited availability of suitable substrates, necessity of costly pretreatments, and high costs of the enzyme.

Beta-glucosidase of Trichoderma: its biosynthesis and role in saccharification of cellulose.
TL;DR: The extracellular beta-glucosidase of Trichoderma viride generally is present in low levels when the organism is cultured on cellulose because it is inactivated under the acid conditions which develop in the medium while the other enzymes of the cellulase complex are more stable.
