The effect of cellulases on the biodegradation and strucutred of natural colored cotton (foxFibre) was examined.Cottons contianign brown pigemnts,the varietis ufalo (mocha brown) and Coyote (reddish brown),were quite resistnat to hydrolysis by Trichoderma reesei cellulase (Celluclast) and purified cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and endoglucanase II (EG II),while white and Palo Verde (Sage green) varieties erived from the same germplasm stock were more suscpetible to hydroplysis.
