A comparative study of 9 yeasts namely, Candida blankii,C.humicola,C.ishiwadae,C.rhagii,C.tropicalis,Hensenula subpelliculosa,Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Trichosporon cutaneum and Tr.pullulans was carried out for the production of extracellular and cell bound β-glucosidase using cellobiose as the substrate. Trichosporon cutaneum was found to be the best extracellular as well as cell bound β-clucosidase producer and the former activity was more than the latter. In the rest of the yeasts most of them showed more cell bound β-glucosidase as compared to the extracellular.
