Detection of some Trichoderma genes for biodegradation of cellulosic wastes.

Many Trichoderma aggregate species are of economic interest because of their ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes. In this study,twenty isolates of Trichoderma were obtained from lignocellulosic agriculture wastes-rich soilcollected from different Egyptian locations (Sadat, Tala, Abo Hamad, Belbeis, Zagazig, Mansoura, Belqas,Kafer-Elshikh, Bella, Tanta, Borg El Arab, Banha, Kafr Shoker, Qalyoub, Shebien Elqanater, Damanhur,Abu al-Matamir, Damietta, Kafr al-Battikh, and Kafr Saad). These isolates were firstidentified morphologically based on conidiophore branching type and conidium morphology. Seven isolates were found to belong toTrichoderma Viride: TM4, TM5, TM9, TM13, TM16, TM29, and TM42; four isolates classified as Trichoderma Koningii: TM6, TM8, TM18 and, TM19 and nine isolates were identified as Trichoderma Harizianum: TM23, TM30, TM31, TM33, TM35, TM36, TM41, TM44, and TM45.
