title: [Cellulose decomposition under nitrogen deficiency by bacteria isolated from the intestines of phytophagous vertebrates].
abstract: A nitrogen-fixing strain identified as Klebsiella pneumonia 402-2 and two endoglucanase-synthesizing Bacillus strains were isolated from the intestines of phytophagous animals. One of the Bacillus strains was identified as Bacillus subtilis GL. Klebsiella pneumoniae 402-2 increased the endoglucanase activity of both Bacillus strains in mixed cultures. The data on the taxonomic position of strains 402-2 and GL and on the nitrogen-fixing capacity of strain 402-2 were confirmed by sequencing and analyzing their 16S rRNA genes and by amplifying the nitrogenase gene nifH.
