ABSTRACT:
Changes in the optical density and viscosity measurements of a water-soluble cellulose derivative which is enzyme depolymerizable can be used as a method to determine growth of cellulase-producing microorganisms and cellulose degradation. The method is particularly well suited to the measurement of the effect of pesticides on cellulose degradation.
