Fig. 8From: Cellulase activity of a novel bacterial strain Arthrobacter woluwensis TDS9: its application on bioconversion of paper mill sludgeEffect of inducers on paper sludge degradation. The production of reducing sugar in the presence of different types of carbon source are indicated by a separate colored line. The culture media was inoculated with our bacterial isolate Arthrobacter woluwensis TDS9 and incubated at 25°C and 150rpm over a range of incubation period of 1–5 days. The initial pH of culture media was set at 8, and the medium contained 1.25% beef extract, 1% paper mill sludge, and 0.15% inducer as co-substrate. **** indicates statistical significance value, P < 0.0001Back to article page
