摘要
Nine of 37 cellulolytic bacterial isolates obtained from landfill waste could be easily differentiated on the basis of gross morphological characteristics. Four isolates were selected for further characterization and on the basis of initial results appear to be previously unidentified cellulolytic species of bacteria. An aerotolerant anaerobic, cellulolytic Clostridium and three obligately anaerobic cellulolytic Eubacterium isolates are described. The Clostridium has an unusually high pH optimum for growth of 7.7. The optimum temperature for growth is 50 degrees C. The pH growth optimum of each of the Eubacterium isolates is around pH 7.0 while temperature optima are 37 degrees, 45 degrees and 50 degrees C for LFI, LF4 and LF5 respectively. Most isolates had growth optima in the thermophilic range. The ease with which apparently previously unidentified species could be isolated is a reflection of the unique and highly variable, heterogeneous environment within landfill waste.
