Cellulase production by the RUT-C30 mutant of the fungus Trichoderma reesei on mixtures of xylose and cellulose was studied in a fed-batch system. An initial mixture of 30 g/L xylose and 20 g/L cellulose and an intermittent feeding rate of 5 g/L/day xylose and 15 g/L/day cellulose (total of 20 g/L/day) produced the highest titer of enzyme activity of 12.5 IFPU/mL
