Abstract:
In order to clarify the cellulose-utilizing mechanism of the Cerambycidae, the microorganism in the Apriona germari(Hope) larvae's gut was cultured and identified. A strain of facultative anaerobic cellulose-utilizing bacteria was isolated from the midgut fluid of A. germari larvae with the cellulose-congo red agar medium. The colonies of the bacteria were white and round with regular margin. Clear zones of cellulolysis surrounding the colonies might reach 10m～20mm. The size of the bacteria was 0.5μm～0. 8μm× l～3μm approximately. The cell was gram-positive rod with polar flagella. It hadn't spores. With the results of biochemical tests, the bacteria were tentatively identified as Cellulomonas.
