Adsorption of cellulase by Trichoderma viride QM 9414 has been studied with resting and growing cells and equations have been derived to describe the process quantitatively. It has been observed that the adsorption is a purely physical process being dependent only on cell and cellulose concentrations. It has also been demonstrated that adsorption isrequired for the induction of cellulases; some discussions are devoted to this point.
