Summary
Two microorganisms originally existing in cellulose enrichmet cultures obtained from lagoon sediments, were isolated for mono-and cocultures studies. Methylcellulose was degraded faster with the coculture than with the cellulolytic bacterium alone, and with a product pattern reflecting the non-cellulolytic bacterium.
