Penicillium echinulatum
Contents
Description
- Penicillium echinulatum is an important filamentous fungus owing to its effective production of cellulases and hemicellulases. The P. echinulatum variant S1M29 is currently the best cellulolytic mutant of this species. Studies of P. echinulatum reveal the potential of its enzymes for applications in the textile industry, and in the hydrolysis of cellulose for production of second-generation ethanol[1][2].
