Research Abstract

ABSTRACT. Inoculation of different plant wastes with microorganisms resulted in a release of maximum reducing sugars
(33 %) from sugar-cane leaves when subjected to Penicillium oxalicun,. Maximum protein was formed from sugar-cane bagasse
inoculated with Aspergillus fumigatus. Association of sugar-cane leaves with P. oxalicurn showed the highest digestibility. The
use of such microorganisms may help to provide additional and valuable proteins ultimately for human use.
