In this study, a strain of cellulolytic bacterium named N-6 was isolated from lake Huguang Maar. Phylogenetic analysis based on a partial 16s rDNA sequence showed that the strain was Bacillus cereus. Extracellular cellulase produced by the strain Bacillus.cereus N-6 exhibits optimum activity around pH 8.0 at 50°C and has good pH tolerance in the range of 6-9.
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.
