            <abstract>
                <p>Present study is focused on utilization of Jatropha curcas deoiled cake (JDC, a
by-product of biodiesel industry), as potential source for various value added products.
To produce cellulases and xylanase enzymes efficiently, JDC was used as nutrient substrate
for Paecilomyces variotii in solid state fermentation. Under the optimized conditions
viz., initial moisture content 70%, incubation temperature 30°C and inoculum dose 10%,
maximum CMCase (383.95 IU/g), FPase (27.37 IU/g) and xylanase (4842.93 IU/g) were
produced. Zymograms of crude enzyme extracts showed six active bands ranging from 35
kDa to 74 kDa for cellulases and four active bands ranging from 45-64 kDa for xylanase.
Simultaneously, the addition of 10% JDC (w/w) in kitchen waste during its
vermicomposting with and without P. variotii was studied. The data revealed that the
inoculation of P. variotii in feedstocks with JDC not only improved the quality of
vermicompost with higher nutritional status but also enhanced the growth and
reproduction of earthworms manyfold.
