This paper reports regulation of cellulase production in two thermophilic fungi, Melanocarpus sp. MTCC 3922 and Scytalidium thermophilum MTCC 4520. The expression of endoglucanase (EG), avicel adsorbable endoglucanase (AAEG) and β-glucosidase in both fungi was inducible. Of the different carbon sources tested, rice straw induced maximal levels of cellulase in both fungi. While, the addition of fructose (1%, w/v) to the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) medium resulted in two-fold increase in endoglucanase production in Melanocarpus sp., however, the addition of ethanol (1%, v/v) resulted in eight-fold-increased expression of endoglucanase in S. thermophilum. The expression profiles of different components of cellulase complex were shown to be co-regulated in S. thermophilum but independently regulated in Melanocarpus sp.
