Cellulase production and efficient saccharification of biomass by a new mutant Trichoderma afroharzianum MEA-12

Abstract Background Cellulase plays a key role in converting cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugar to produce chemicals and fuels, which is generally produced by filamentous fungi. However, most of the filamentous fungi obtained by natural breeding have low secretory capacity in cellulase produc...
