ABSTRACT
The present investigation was undertaken to isolate and screen the
cellulase producing bacteria from soil. Cellulose is considered to
be the most abundant carbohydrate on earth along with
hemicelluloses and lignin, which constitutes the plant cell wall.
Cellulolytic enzymes are the backbone of various industries
including food, animal feed, brewing, wine, agricultural biomass
refining, pulp, paper, textile and ethanol production. In this paper,
cellulose degrading bacteria was isolated and screened from
different soil samples (from agriculture farm, waste dumping area
and termite soil) using Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), wheat
bran and waste paper plus nutrient agar as a selective medium.
After screening, only five isolates (KHU2, KHU8, KHU9, KHU13
and KHU14) were selected due to the maximum diameter o
of substrate hydrolysis. The diameter of zone of substrate
hydrolysis in NAM plates containing wheat bran for the isolates
KHU2, KHU8, KHU9, KHU13 and KHU14 was
21±2mm, 13±1mm, 12±1mm and 10±2mm
the diameter of zone of substrate hydrolysis in NAM plates
containing waste paper for the isolates KH
KHU13 and KHU14 was 13±1mm, 2
and 15±1mm, respectively. This was compared with the diameter
of zone of substrate hydrolysis in NAM plates containing CMC
cellulose for the isolates KHU2, KHU8, KHU9, KHU13 and
KHU14 was 16±1mm, 25±1mm, 22±1mm, 19±2mm and
20±2mm, respectively. It was concluded that the diameter
of substrate hydrolysis on waste paper
as obtained with CMC cellulose (25±1mm). T
of zone of substrate hydrolysis was seen in isolate KHU8 in NAM
plates plus waste paper and CMC cellulose from termite soi
sample. So, termite soil has the maximum
