Abstract Cellulose is the main structural component of lignocellulosic wastes that can be converted to sugars and
biofuels by cellulase. Due to wide applications of this enzyme in various industries around the world, cellulase is
considered as the third industrial enzyme. The ability of thermophilic bacteria in the production of heat-stable cellulases
has made them valuable tools in biotechnology. The aim of this study was isolation and molecular identification of
cellulolytic thermophile bacteria from Dig Rostam hot spring and investigating their cellulase activity. Samples were
taken from water and sediments of this hot spring, and cellulolytic… More >
