Abstract

An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for enzymatically saccharifying a cellulosic substance in an extremely efficient, simple, and inexpensive manner. A solution to the object is a mixture or a dried product thereof exhibiting cellulolytic activity containing a culture liquid or a supernatant liquid of a genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus and a culture product of Aspergillus kawachii.

Claims (9)

1 . A mixture of a culture liquid or a supernatant liquid of a genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus and a culture product of Aspergillus kawachii, or a dried product thereof, which exhibits cellulolytic activity.

2 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein the culture product of Aspergillus kawachii is a culture liquid or a supernatant liquid.

3 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein the culture product of Aspergillus kawachii is a solid culture product or an extract liquid thereof.

4 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein cellulase activity of the culture liquid or the supernatant liquid of the genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus is not less than 50 U/ml, and hemicellulase activity of the culture liquid, the supernatant liquid or the solid culture product extract liquid liquid of Aspergillus kawachii is not less than 50 U/ml.

5 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein mixing ratio of the culture liquid or the supernatant liquid of the genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus to the culture liquid, the supernatant liquid, or the solid culture product extract liquid liquid of Aspergillus kawachii is within a range of 10:90 to 90:10 in volume ratio.

6 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein the genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus is Trichoderma reesei or Trichoderma viride.

7 . The mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 , wherein the genus Trichoderma filamentous fungus is Trichoderma reesei.

8 . A method for producing glucose comprising a step of saccharifying a cellulose raw material using the mixture or the dried product thereof according to claim 1 .

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the saccharification is performed under conditions of 30 to 70° C. and pH 3 to 7.
