Abstract
Microbial diversity from indigenous cultures has the potential to accelerate lignocellulose degradation through enzymes and make composting economically feasible. Therefore, this study is designed to boost cellulase output from a bacterial strain obtained from soil using a one-variable-at-a-time approach and response surface methodology. The bacteria recognized as Bacillus tequilensis (ON754229) produced the maximum cellulase at a temperature of 37 °C, pH -7.0, and incubation time of 72 h. A major contribution was anticipated by glucose (17 %) and ammonium sulfate (11 %) with cellulase activity of 0.56 U/mL in the optimized medium. The enzyme possessed activity of CMCase, FPase, and amylase of 0.589 μmol/min, 1.22 μmol/min, and 0.92 μmol/min respectively. SDS-PAGE showed a 65 kDa molecular weight of the enzyme capable of degrading cellulose, as confirmed by zymogram analysis. The enzyme showed relatively moderate thermo-stability towards neutral pH conditions possessing optimum conditions at pH 6.5 and temperature of 50 °C. The Km and Vmax values were 11.44 mM and 0.643 μmol/min respectively. The presence of MgSO4, ZnSO4, and Triton X- 100 increased the enzymatic reaction however AgNO3, EDTA, and HgCl2 altered the activation process. These results showed cellulase from B. tequilensis SB125 would be suitable for conventional industrial processes that convert biomass into biofuels.

Abstract
Crop straw contains huge amounts of exploitable energy, and efficient biomass degradation measures have attracted worldwide attention. Mining strains with high yields of cellulose-degrading enzymes is of great significance for developing clean energy and industrial production of related enzymes. In this study, we reported a high-quality genome sequence of Bacillus velezensis SSF6 strain using high-throughput sequencing technology (Illumina PE150 and PacBio) and assessed its lignocellulose degradation potential. The results demonstrated that the genome of B. velezensis SSF6 was 3.89 Mb and contained 4,015 genes, of which 2,972, 3,831 and 158 genes were annotated in the COGs (Clusters of Orthologous Groups), KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and CAZyme (Carbohydrate-Active enZymes) databases, respectively, and contained a large number of genes related to carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, B. velezensis SSF6 has a high cellulose degradation capacity, with a filter paper assay (FPA) and an exoglucanase activity of 64.48 ± 0.28 and 78.59 ± 0.42 U/mL, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis depicted that B. velezensis SSF6 was richer in carbohydrate hydrolase gene. In conclusion, the cellulose-degrading ability of B. velezensis SSF6 was revealed by genome sequencing and the determination of cellulase activity, which laid a foundation for further cellulose degradation and bioconversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice straw (RS) is one of the largest sources of lignocellulosic, which is an abundant raw material for biofuels and chemicals. However, the natural degradation of RS under a low temperature environment is the biggest obstacle to returning straw to the field. RESULTS In the present study, one bacillus strain W118 was isolated. Strain W118 was identified as Bacillus cereus through morphological and physiological characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing. The optimum growth temperature and pH of strain W118 were 20 °C and 6.5, respectively. Simultaneously, it was found that the strain W118 grew well at low temperature, even at a temperature of 4 °C (OD600 = 1.40 ± 0.01). The decrease of various compositions of RS after the fermentation process at a temperature of 20 °C and 4 °C for 14 days was 27.00 ± 0.02% and 23.70 ± 0.04%, respectively. The composition of RS decreased to 50.71 ± 0.02% after being fermented at 4 °C for 25 days. The results of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction of RS showed that the compositions of RS were significant decreased. CONCLUSION This test suggests that the strain W118 is efficient for degrading RS at low temperature, which has great application potential for straw degradation in a low temperature area. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Microbial cellulases have become the mainstream biocatalysts due to their complex nature and widespread industrial applications. The present study reports the partial purification and characterization of cellulase from Bacillus subtilis CD001 and its application in biomass saccharification. Out of four different substrates, carboxymethyl cellulose, when amended as fermentation substrate, induced the highest cellulase production from B. subtilis CD001. The optimum activity of CMCase, FPase, and amylase was 2.4 U/ml, 1.5 U/ml, and 1.45 U/ml, respectively. The enzyme was partially purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and sequenced through LC-MS/MS. The cellulase was found to be approximately 55 kDa by SDS-PAGE and capable of hydrolyzing cellulose, as confirmed by zymogram analysis. The enzyme was assigned an accession number AOR98335.1 and displayed 46% sequence homology with 14 peptide-spectrum matches having 12 unique peptide sequences. Characterization of the enzyme revealed it to be an acidothermophilic cellulase, having an optimum activity at pH 5 and a temperature of 60°C. Kinetic analysis of partially purified enzyme showed the Km and Vmax values of 0.996 mM and 1.647 U/ml, respectively. The enzyme activity was accelerated by ZnSO4, MnSO4, and MgSO4, whereas inhibited significantly by EDTA and moderately by β-mercaptoethanol and urea. Further, characterization of the enzyme saccharified sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, and filter paper by SEM, ATR-FTIR, and XRD revealed efficient hydrolysis and structural modifications of cellulosic materials, indicating the potential industrial application of the B. subtilis CD001 cellulase. The findings demonstrated the potential suitability of cellulase from B. subtilis CD001 for use in current mainstream biomass conversion into fuels and other industrial processes.

Abstract
To adapt to various ecological niches, the members of genus Bacillus display a wide spectrum of glycoside hydrolases (GH) responsible for the hydrolysis of cellulose and lignocellulose. Being abundant and renewable, cellulose-containing plant biomass may be applied as a substrate in second-generation biotechnologies for the production of platform chemicals. The present study aims to enhance the natural cellulase activity of two promising 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) producers, Bacillus licheniformis 24 and B. velezensis 5RB, by cloning and heterologous expression of cel8A and cel48S genes of Acetivibrio thermocellus. In B. licheniformis, the endocellulase Cel8A (GH8) was cloned to supplement the action of CelA (GH9), while in B. velezensis, the cellobiohydrolase Cel48S (GH48) successfully complemented the activity of endo-cellulase EglS (GH5). The expression of the natural and heterologous cellulase genes in both hosts was demonstrated by reverse-transcription PCR. The secretion of clostridial cellulases was additionally enhanced by enzyme fusion to the subtilisin-like signal peptide, reaching a significant increase in the cellulase activity of the cell-free supernatants. The results presented are the first to reveal the possibility of genetic complementation for enhancement of cellulase activity in bacilli, thus opening the prospect for genetic improvement of strains with an important biotechnological application.
