Discussion

Study demonstrates cellulase enzyme production in Pleurotus species from agro-waste, suggesting biotechnological applications.

Cellulase activity varied between 14 mm and 16 mm, indicating significant enzyme potential among the isolated strains.
Molecular identification confirmed the presence of multiple Pleurotus isolates with cellulolytic capabilities.
Fungal colonies were cultured on potato dextrose agar and tested for enzyme activity using Congo red staining.
Findings highlight the potential of Pleurotus species in sustainable biodegradation and biofuel production.

Chime et al. (2025) studied this question.
