Background  Bioethanol isolated from lignocellulosic biomass represents one of the most promising renewable and carbon neutral alternative liquid fuel sources. Enzymatic saccharification using cellulase has proven to be a useful method in the production of bioethanol. The filamentous fungi  Acremonium cellulolyticus  and  Trichoderma reesei  are known to be potential cellulase producers. In this study, we aimed to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the cellulase enzymes derived from these fungi.    Results  We compared  A. cellulolyticus  and  T. reesei  cellulase activity against the three lignocellulosic materials: eucalyptus, Douglas fir and rice straw. Saccharification analysis using the supernatant from each culture demonstrated that the enzyme mixture derived from  A. cellulolyticus  exhibited 2-fold and 16-fold increases in Filter Paper enzyme and β-glucosidase specific activities, respectively, compared with that derived from  T. reesei . In addition, culture supernatant from  A. cellulolyticus  produced glucose more rapidly from the lignocellulosic materials. Meanwhile, culture supernatant derived from  T. reesei  exhibited a 2-fold higher xylan-hydrolyzing activity and produced more xylose from eucalyptus (72% yield) and rice straw (43% yield). Although the commercial enzymes Acremonium cellulase (derived from  A. cellulolyticus , Meiji Seika Co.) demonstrated a slightly lower cellulase specific activity than Accellerase 1000 (derived from  T. reesei , Genencor), the glucose yield (over 65%) from lignocellulosic materials by Acremonium cellulase was higher than that of Accellerase 1000 (less than 60%). In addition, the mannan-hydrolyzing activity of Acremonium cellulase was 16-fold higher than that of Accellerase 1000, and the conversion of mannan to mannobiose and mannose by Acremonium cellulase was more efficient.    Conclusion  We investigated the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials by cellulase derived from two types of filamentous fungi. We found that glucan-hydrolyzing activity of the culture supernatant from  A. cellulolyticus  was superior to that from  T. reesei , while the xylan-hydrolyzing activity was superior for the cellulase from  T. reesei . Moreover, Acremonium cellulase exhibited a greater glucan and mannan-hydrolyzing activity than Accellerase 1000.
