A novel alkaline, highly thermostable and oxidant resistant Carboxymethyl Cellulase (Cmcase) Produced by thermophilic Bacillus sonorensis CY-3

The bacterial strain a thermophilic carboxymethyl cellulase-producing was screened from biocompost. The strain was identified as Bacillus sonorensis CY-3 according to morphological, biochemical and molecular analysis, then it was optimized for the production of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase).
