    Author(s): Banerjee S and Ghosh KBanerjee S and Ghosh K

    Cellulose and hemicellulose (xylan) are the most common Non-Starch Polysaccharides (NSPs) present in plant ingredients that exhibit anti-nutritional effect. Degradation of cellulose and xylan has been investigated under solidstate fermentation (SSF) using oil-cakes, viz., groundnut oil-cake (GOC), mustard oil-cake (MOC), sunflower oilcake (SOC), sesame oil-cake (SeOC) and linseed oil-cake (LOC) as substrates. Finally LOC was considered in the present study as it contained maximum amount of cellulose (17.51 ± 0.87 g 100 g-1) and xylan (13.02 ± 0.66 g 100 g-1). Bio-processing of LOC was carried out through SSF in two different combinations utilizing efficient cellulaseand xylanase-producing strains, Bacillus pumilus KF640221 (Set-I) and Bacillus tequilensis KF640219 (Set-II), isolated previously from the proximal intestines of rohu, Labeo rohita ..
