Screening of bagasse microbes for biomass-degrading enzymes. a The bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi (RP1-RP103) isolated from different positions in the pile were screened for cellulase, xylanase, laccase and peroxidase on carboxy-methyl cellulose with trypan blue dye, azo-xylan, remazol brilliant blue and azure B containing agar plates, respectively. Activity was scored as positive or not based on clearance zones around the colonies. Low activity indicates a very minor clearance zone that took longer than 7 days to become visible. Examples of each assay are shown in b
