Areca palm (ChrysalidoCarpus lutescenes) a widely used plant having feathery arching brands with 100 leaflets. All these plants produce much ofwaste in additions to greeny and nuts. This waste of spade is used for the production of various molecules that are used in industry and pharmasector. Fermentation techniques are used to generate economically important enzymes for industrial and pharmaceutical purposes. Cellulaseenzyme degrades the cellulose in between β-1, 4 glucosidic link found in lignocellulosic complex which under physical treatment is slower todegrade. The present study of Aspergillus niger for cellulose production was carried in solid state (SS) and submerged (SM) fermentations forproduction of cellulase enzyme. Cellulase production in SSF after 72 h of fermentation was 8.02 and in SMF activity was 2.98 per ml of culturedbroth at H 6 and temperature at 30°C. Both SMF and SSF were supplemented with lactose and lactobionic acid, which acted as cellulase Pproduction inducers. The aim of the present work was to study the effect of Areca palm spade as substrate for Aspergillus niger and its cellulaseproduction under SMF and SSF.
