[Isolation, identification and phylogenetic analysis of a thermophilic cellulolytic anaerobic bacterium].

Four strains of thermophilic cellulolytic anaeobic bacteria were isolated from fresh feces, heat compost, cellulolytic mixed culture with a method based on adherence of cellulolytic bacteria to cellulose. The cells of isolates were straight or slightly curved rods that were 0.4 micron-0.
