Abstract excerpt
A novel, cellulolytic, bacterial thermophilic strain, T4, was isolated from sugar refinery wastewater in southern Taiwan. This isolate, a Gram-negative, motile, aerobically growing sporulating rod, can secrete thermostable endocellulase (endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase, EC 3.2.1.4) and hydrolyze carbox...
