Cellulomonas and Micrococcus spp. grew well at 30 ° C, p H 7.0, and p r o d u c e d carboxymethylcellulase ( C M C a s e ) and xylanase enzymes. Only one species o f Micrococcus was able to p r o d u c e an appreciable a m o u n t o f ~-glucosidase. This is the first report where Micrococcus sp., isolated from termite gut, was able to p r o d u c e all three enzymes (i.e. C M C a s e , xylanase and fl-glucosidase) required for degradation o f cellulosic and hemicellulosic substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
