The hemicellulases of rumen micro-organisms have been isolated from pure culture isolates of (a) bacteria, for example, Bacillus firmus,148 Bacteroides amylogenes,38 Butyrivibrio fibrosolvens,38,40 and Ruminococcus flavefaciens41 and (b) protozoa, for example, Epidinium ecaudatum,43-44 an Entodinium sp.,44,216 Eudiplodinium medium,48 Eremoplastron bovis,44,45 and Polyplastron mul-tivesiculatum.47 They have also been found in cell-free preparations of mixed bacteria,40,42,215 protozoa,43 and mixtures of both organisms.42,217,218,254,255...

Sindhu et al. (2014) compared the ability of three bacterial strains (Bacillus firmus Nil 0830, B. sphaericus Nil 0838, and Paracoccus denitrificans) to accumulate P(3HB) using a rice straw hydrolysate as carbon source. This mUd acid pretreated hydrolysate contained 23 g of xylose and 4.9 g of acetic acid, together with much lower concentrations of glucose, arabinose, formic acid, furfural, and hydroxyl-methyl-furfural. They selected B. firmus Nil 0830 as this strain produced higher amounts of P(3HB) using the hydrolysate without any detoxifying step (Sindhu et al. 2014).
