ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to screen the lignocellulolytic ability of Bacteria isolated from the soil samples collected from different geographical location of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra State of India. The strains were screened for their ability to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes such as Cellulase, Lignin Peroxidase, And laccase using Carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), Azure B, ABTS, and Guaiacol as a substrate. Further the isolates were characterised based on their utilization of sugar. The isolates then Screened for their ability to decompose Rice straw. This findings of the study showed that the Bacterial isolates with appreciable hydrolytic zones have good hydrolytic property of lignocellulosic agricultural waste.
Key words: Bacteria, Lignocellulase, CMC ABTS, Guaiacol
