Culture filtra te s obta in ed from Aspergillus sp, Trichoderma koningii and Myriococcum sp were shown to be active in degrading cotton wool and filter paper. The optimum temperature for growth for Aspergillus sp and T. Koningii occurred at 37° while that of Myriococcum at 4 5 ° - 5 0 °C. Op timum tem perature fo r a ctivity was recorded as 4 5 °C fo r T. koningii and 4 0 °C for Aspergillus sp and Myriococcum sp; the pH optima occurred a t pH 5.0, 4.0 and 7.0 respectively. The action of these organisms on various celluiosic wastes was tested and pineapple waste was the m o st amenable to degradation. Synergistical studies using crude enzyme extracts indicated only a small increase in enzyme activity (40%).
