Abstract
C. cellulolyticum is described as a new species from decomposing straw used for the cultivation of mushrooms in the Punjab State, India. The fungus is thermotolerant rather than thermophilic, optimal growth resulted at 37.degree. C but temperatures above 40.degree. C were inhibitory. Growth in liquid culture was very rapid with specific growth rate of 0.14 h-1 and a doubling time of about 5 h. Of various inorganic N sources investigated, NaNO3 yielded the maximum growth rate.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
