  • Description: The cell-free filtrates from cultures of selected deuteromycetous species, including representatives of Piricauda, Slachybotrys, Alternaria, Culcitalna, Humicola, and Helicoma, isolated from wood submerged in the sea, exhibited various intensities of cellulolytic activity on carboxymethylcellulose and Walseth cellulose. Cellulolytic activity was noted following growth of the fungi on intact balsa wood in 0.1% yeast extract sea water broth. Individual isolates of certain genera, especially those of Helicoma, varied considerably in their activity. However all of the species grew and developed cellulolytic activity in media made with distilled water and with sea water. The amount of enzymatic activity, indicated by the production of reducing sugars (RS), and the proportion of glucose in the RS fraction, varied considerably between species and within individual species on media with different salinities.
