Isolation and characterization of anaerobic cellulose-degrading bacteria from East African porcupine (Hysterix cristata)

Two strains of obligately anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria designated as PS7 and PS8 (PS for porcupine species) were isolated from hindgut fluid of a crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata). The rates of cellulose degradation, total volatile fatty acids, and gas production from cellulose by the isolates...
