A 150 literfermentor from Elektrolux (Sweden) was used to test the production of cellulases from Trichoderma reesei in fed-batch regime using the stepwise additions of carbon source. As substrates, lactose and microcrystalline cellulose were compared. The obtained levels of cellulose activities (FPA) were around 85 nkat.ml^-1 (5 IU.ml^-1) after 140 h cultivation with both substrates used, however the increase of cellulose activity with microcrystalline cellulose was faster as that with lactose.
