The straw cellulose was used as the sole carbon source to enrich for a mixed culture of micro-organisms in a stirred liquid medium and on a perfusion column containing glass beads. Amongst the micro-organisms isolated only fungi had cellulase activity and this activity was greatest in cultures of Cladosporium cladosporoides. The remainder of the community consisted of non-cellulolytic secondary organisms. The interactions of cellulolytic fungi with other micro-organisms found in the enrichment mixed culture are discussed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-127-2-231
