Design and application of an efficient cellulose-degrading microbial consortium and carboxymethyl cellulase production optimization.

ABSTRACT: Microbial consortia with high cellulase activities can speed up the composting of agricultural wastes with high cellulose contents and promote the beneficial utilization of agricultural wastes. In this paper, rabbit feces and sesame oil cake were used as feedstocks for compost production. Cellulose-degrading microbial strains were isolated from compost samples taken at the different composting stages and screened via Congo red staining and filter paper degradation test. Seven strains, Trichoderma reesei, Escherichia fergusonii, Proteus vulgaris, Aspergillus glaucus, Bacillus mycoides, Corynebacterium glutamicum, and Serratia marcescens, with high activities of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), filter paper cellulase (FPase), and β-glu
