Isolation and Identification of Cellulolytic Bacteria from the Gut of Three Phytophagus Insect Species

The cellulolytic bacteria from the gut of three different phytophagous insects were studied to isolate novel cellulolytic organism for biofuel industry. Among the threse, gut of P. quatuordecimpunctata larvae contained both highest no of total bacterial count (6.8x107CFU/gut) and cellulolytic bacter...
