Abstract
Carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) was extracted from Bacillus sp. isolated from sugar cane baggase dump site. The enzyme was partially purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation and Sephadex G-200 gel and characterized at various pH and temperature values. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was pH 6.5 and its temperature optimum was 50oC. The Michaelis-Menten constants, Km and Vmax, of the enzyme using carboxy-ethyl cellulose as substrate were found to be 5 and 0.89 μmol/min respectively. Key words: Agricultural residues; carbon sources, nitrogen sources; pH activity; temperature activity
