Thermobacillus yonhac149
The strain was identified by phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA sequence data. It identifierd later 92% similarity to 16S rRNA gene of standard strain. The similarity is relatively low. This gives considerable possibility of that it can be novel strain.
Various cellulase-producing microorganism were screened. Cellulose degrading strains were isolated from soil samples, which were obtained from hot springs of Indonesia. After the soils were suspended into sterilized tap water, they were spread onto an agar(gelrite) plates containing 0.5% CMC and stained with congo red.
