Abstract

Deciphering Cow Dung for Cellulase Producing Bacteria

Jahir Alam Khan, Ram Krishna Ranjan, Varun Rathod and Priyanka Gautam

Bacterial species isolated from cow dung were screened for cellulase production and the culture MJRV1102P was found to have maximum cellulase producing capacities. The culture was further characterized on the basis of staining and biochemical activities and was found to be gram positive Cocci capable of producing endospores, positive in catalase and mannitol fermentation Tests. The isolate produced significant amount of cellulases after 96 h of fermentation in CMC containing medium with a Total CMCase activity of 0.3825 U.
