Characterization and Enzymatic Assay of Cellulase-Producing Probiotic Bacteria Isolated from Traditional Fermented Bamboo of Bangladesh by Mauching Marma, Koushik Chakroborty, Jong Min Lee, Zinia Rahman, S. M. Rafiquzzaman

“…Three isolated bacteria, namely FB-1, FB-2, and FB-3, screened based on the carboxymethyl cellulose medium, were tested for biochemical and probiotic properties, and the best isolate was genetically identified by molecular characterization through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and evolutionary analysis. All three gram-positive isolates were observed to be positive for starch hydrolysis and fermentation of sucrose, suggesting their ability to breakdown carbohydrates while testing negative for gelatinase, indole, and H2S test. …”
