| Summary: | The study of rumen micro biology began in the 1940s but the
progress made from those years onwards have not been able to match
the burgeoning studies in genetic engineering aimed at optimizing
the process of cellulose digestion. The basic study of the complex
bacteria l processes involved in cellulose digestion will provide a
rational baseline which is important in such an undertaking . The
need to develop simpler and more efficient methods of isolation,
characterization, enumeration and maintenance of cellulolytic
bacteria a real so important because this will provide new strains
of organisms that will be very valuable in the determination of the molecular processes of cellulose digestion an d in the development
of genetically engineered improvements. In view of this, a project
was undertaken to improve the isolation method for cellulolytic
bacteria and to study their adaptability and cellulolytic
characteristics in vitro . |
