[0002] Aspergillus niger produces cellulase in the presence of cellulose as an inducer, which is used to degrade cellulose into usable monosaccharides. The most commonly used fermentation substrates in Aspergillus niger fermentation are wheat bran, corn stalks, and rice straw powder, which can serve as both the main carbon source and the inducer.

[0003] The two most common fermentation methods for Aspergillus niger are liquid fermentation and solid-state fermentation. Among them, solid-state fermentation contains almost no free water, which is closer to the natural growth state of microorganisms, resulting in higher enzyme activity, simpler subsequent treatment, less pollution, and no wastewater discharge.
