Studies in this and other laboratories have disclosed a variety of starch-digesting rumen organisms, including Streptococcu bouis (Hungate et al., 1952), several cellulolytic strains (Hungate, 1950), and various non-cellulolytic bacteria (Gall et al., 1947; Gall and Huhtanen, 1951; Huhtanen and Gall, 1953a, b; Bryant and Burkey, 1953a,b; Jayko, 1953; McPherson, 1953; van der Wath, 1948) as well...

Project Goals: The use of cellulolytic bacteria for generating cellulosic ethanol has recently been the focus of extensive research. This research has primarily focused on using engineered strains of cellulolytic bacteria, but there is growing interest in understanding the fundamental processes of cellulose degradation for identifying novel enzymes or for finding organisms capable of more effic...

Microbiological breakdowin of cellulose materials in soil as influenced by the soil environment is of interest to both agriculture and industry. The need for better understanding of possible effects due to variations in soil used as a component of soil burial beds led to investigations on the cellulolytic activities of diverse mineral soils. An accompanying paper (Schmidt and Ruschmeyer, 1958) ...

The aim of the study was to assess the cellulolytic activity of a strain of Trichoderma viride in the presence of three lignocellulosic substrates, i.e. wheat, barley, and maize straw, in different temperatures (25 °C, 30 °C and 35 °C). Research related to the biosynthesis of enzymes was conducted using the deep method, whereas enzyme activity was assessed on solid media with added carboxymethy...

Ganoderma lucidum is recognized as a powerful medicinal fungus because of its pharmacological effects and it is cultivated worldwide, using hardwood sawdust as a substrate in synthetic formulation. However, relative abundance of cereal straws such as wheat straw in an agricultural country like India could be exploited for commercial production of this mushroom. Therefore, solid state fermentati...

Abstract Cellulose is a potential source of fermentable sugars and promising cost-effective for biofuel production. This study aimed to obtain cellulolytic fungi from the intestine Asiatic rhinoceros beetle ( Oryctes L.). The were isolated using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media spread plate method. Qualitative quantitative screening tests carried out 1% CMC (w/v) as sole carbon source. Twelve i...

Traditionally, filamentous fungi and actinomycetes are well-known cellulolytic microorganisms that have been utilized in the commercial production of cellulase enzyme cocktails for industrial-scale degradation plant biomass. Noticeably, Ktedonobacteria lineage (phylum Chloroflexi) with actinomycetes-like morphology was identified exhibited diverse carbohydrate utilization or abilities. In this ...

Clostridium cellulolyticum ATCC 35319 is a non-ruminal mesophilic cellulolytic bacterium originally isolated from decayed grass. As with most truly cellulolytic clostridia, C. cellulolyticum possesses an extracellular multi-enzymatic complex, the cellulosome. The catalytic components of the cellulosome release soluble cello-oligosaccharides from cellulose providing the primary carbon substrates...
