This is the first report of isolation of fungi present in fatty and defatted castor bean meal as well as the first of crop's selection to test the cellulolytic potential, in order to verify the diversity and potential of cellulolytic fungi in castor bean waste (Ricinus communis L.). For the screening on solid medium, it was used carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the sole carbon source. The microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) was used as a substrate for submerged fermentation for production of cellobiohydrolase (FPase) and the CMC to produce endoglucanases (CMCase) and beta-glycosidases (BG). 189 cultures of fungi were isolated, including 40 species of filamentous fungi and three yeasts. The Aspergillus was the most frequent found genus. Regarding the distribution of isolated species from defatted castor bean meal, the A. niger was the most frequent one; and within the fatty castor bean meal, the Emericela variecolor prevailed among other species. Among the 67 fungal cultures tested in the initial screening on solid media to assess the cellulolytic potential, 54 disclosed Cellulolytic Index (CI) ranging from 1.04 to 6.00 mm. The isolates were selected for enzyme production in liquid medium with values above 2.0 CI. They were obtained with A. japonicus URM5620 FPase activity (4.99 U/ml) and BG (0.05 U/ml), and Rhodotorula glutinis URM5724 activity of CMCase 3.58 U/ml. These cases occurred after 168 h of submersion for both species of fungi. In our study, we could conclude that the castor bean is a promising source of fungi capable of producing cellulolytic enzymes.
