Abstract
The effect of growth temperature, medium composition and pH were examined in shake-flask-scale studies to determine the optimum conditions for cellulase production in mixed cultures of Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 and Aspergillus phoenicis. The optimum temperature and pH were 27°C and pH 4.6. Decreases in medium complexity and cost were achieved through reductions in the concentration of Ca, Mg, and K salts. Ten litre fermentations were implemented to study the kinetics of substrate utilization and product formation. The pH at which the fermentation was controlled appeared to be the critical parameter for batch growth of mixed cultures of Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 and Aspergillus phoenicis.
