Abstract:
      The aim of this study was to screen efficient cellulolytic bacteria at high temperatures(55~75℃)and evaluate the straw degradation and thermostability of cellulase. Thermophilic cellulolytic bacteria were isolated from composts enriched by a serial subcultivation in rice straw at 55, 65℃, and 75℃. Targeted strains were screened based on hydrolytic activity and degradation efficiency. The resulting bacteria were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenic analyses, and enzyme thermostability investigation. Bacterial strain B-7 and B-11 were screened from 13 thermophilic cellulolytic bacterial isolates owing to their high cellulolytic efficiency and the carboxymethyl cellulose activity. The 16S rRNA analysis revealed that B-7 and B-11 belong to Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus pumilus, respectively. Cellulase thermostability results showed that the cellulase activity of B-7 and B-11 first increased and then decreased at 50~90℃ with optimal enzyme activity at 55~65℃ and 70~80℃, respectively. B-7 and B-11 are efficient thermophilic cellulolytic bacteria with different temperature preferences. These two thermophilic bacteria show great potential for a potential for broad application in high temperature aerobic composting.
