Abstract
The present study deals with degradation of coir poll by Humicola sp. Trichoderma viride and Aspergillus terreus. The lignin, cellulose, organic carbon content and evolution of carbon-di-oxide were estimated in pith degraded aad non-degraded coir pith. The content of lignin and cellulose were found to be low in lignin and cellulose during different period of biodegradation.
