“…Forty-three strains and two species varieties representing 15 genera were collected from the soil of ten sites on plates of cellulose-Czapek's agar at 28C. Most of species recovered on the plate of cellulose agar (Table , 1) were reported to be cellulose decomposing but different degrees (Macris, 1984;Moubasher&mazen, 1991;Naveenkumar & Thippeswamy, 2013;Reddyet al 2014). The cellulose activity of fungal strains was confirmed by chloroiodide of zinc decoloration and also quantitatively with dinitro-salicylic acid reagent method.…”

Fungi are well known agents for decomposition of organic matter in common and of cellulosic material, in particular; therefore they considered as the main cellulose producing microorganisms. The present study was aimed to isolate and screen the ability of cellulolytic fungal strains from desert soil living under environmental stress to produce cellulolytic enzymes. Forty-three fungal strains in addition to two varieties were isolated from different sites at Aswan University campus and were able to degrade the cellulose with variable extents. Fungal species were grouped as high, moderate and low cellulolytic activity. The cellulase activity was assayed by carboxymethyl-cellulose "CMase" assay (endoglucanases).The highest cellulase producing isolates were Fusarium dimerum and Rhizopus oryzae. The optimum parameters for high activity of cellulase enzyme are pH 5, 35C at 9th, 11 thdays for Fusarium dimerum and Rhizopus oryzae, respectively.
