Abstract
A cellulolytic mold Penicillium purpurogenum isolated from soil and id entified in our laboratory was selected as the most potent organism. T he optimum cultural conditions for the production of the cellulolytic enzymes by the organism were pH 5.5, period of incubation 11-days, tem perature 28-degrees-C and volume of inoculum, a 1 ml spore suspension containing 2 x 10(6) spores per 30 ml, when fermentations were carried out in 100 ml Erlenmeyer flasks on a rotary shaker (150 rpm).
