Abstract:

In order to screen out the strains which can degrade cellulose efficiently at low temperature and improve the degradation rate of cellulose under low temperature, in this study, rotten wood in cold area of Xinjiang was used as experimental material, and the low-temperature cellulose degrading bacteria were screened. Four strains of fungi which could grow at low temperature and degrade cellulose were screened at 4 ℃. Morphological and molecular biological methods were used for identification of low temperature strains. They were Penicillium chrysogenum, two Trichoderma citrinoviride strains and Neurospora sitophila. The cold tolerance test showed that all the strains were cold resistant. Studies on the characteristics of enzyme production of 4 low-temperature bacteria showed that the optimal culture time for cellulase production was 9 d, the optimal initial pH of the culture medium was 7, the optimal temperature was 25 ℃, and the optimal inoculation amount was 5%. The straw degradation test showed that these four strains of fungi had ability to degrade the straw, and had the best degradation effect on the corn straw with the fermentation rate above 40%.

Key words: cellulose, degrading bacteria, low temperature, strain identification, straw degradation
