섬유소로부터 섬유소이용성 단세포단백질을 생산(生産)하기 위하여 전국에서 수집한 95점의 시료(試料)로부터 163주(株)의 섬유소자화세균(資化細菌)을 분리하고 이들 중 섬유소자화력(資化力)이 강한 1주(株)를 선정(選定)하고 Sporocytophaga congregata A-7으로 동정(同定)하였다. 최적 균생산(菌生産) 및 효소생산의 조건은 온도 $30^{circ}C$, 초기 pH 6.0이었으며 효소반응의 최적조건은 온도 $50^{circ}C$, pH 7.0이었고 효소의 열안정성은 $55^{circ}C$이었다. 선발된 섬유소자화세균(資化細菌)과의 결합배양(結合培養)에 적합한 효모로는 Candida guilliermondii var. guilliermondii가 선정(選定)되었으며 혼합배양시(混合培養時) specific growth rate는 효모의 경우 $0.08hr^{-1}$이고 세균(細菌)의 경우는 $0.063hr^{-1}$로서 세균(細菌) 단독배양시의 $0.034hr^{-1}$에 비해 2배로 증가하였으며 48시간 배양후의 균체조건량은 약 $4{sim}5g/l$ 정도이었다.
In order to produce cellulosic single cell protein from the cellulose, 163 strains of cellulose assimilating bacteria were isolated from 95 sources and one of them was screened by its strong cellulose assimilating activity. and was identified as Sporocytophaga congregate A-7. The optimum temperature and pH for cellulase production were $30^{circ}C$ and 6.0, and the optimum temperature, pH and heat stability of the enzyme were $50^{circ}C$, 7.0 and below $55^{circ}C$. When the bacteria was cultured in fermentor, the specific growth rate was $0.034hr^{-1}$ and when the bacteria was mixed cultured with Candida guilliermondii var. guilliermondii, the specific growth rate of the bacteria and yeast were $0.06hr^{-1}$ and $0.08hr^{-1}$ respectively and total cell dry weight was $4{sim}5g/l$.
