The principal cellulase-producing microorganisms that may be isolated from soil samples are fungi. The cellulases produced can hydrolyze cellulose (-1,4-D-glucan linkages) to yield glucose, cellobiose, and cello-oligosaccharides as by-products. 1)Give a suggestion on a suitable preliminary study to isolate potential cellulase-producing fungi from a soil sample and describe of the expected outcome.
