Microorganisms in the gut of Animals surviving mainly by eating cellulose
Objectives of the Study: To motivate a design of a simple/portable small sized bioreactor for Cellulosic ethanol production. To found a simple microorganisms commonly available in the excreta of farm animals, that farmers can themselves culture for quick, in reactor, biodegradation of the waste cellulose. To motivate small Vegan farmers to get into the new easy innovations for increasing there revenue. (At places with high human density, small sized fragmented land holdings, cattle farming is not so rewarding. Also keeping unproductive cattles is costly and painful, while selling them to the butchers is also painful. So Vegan life becomess the best available path.) To link the Vegan life to Economic/Industrial Microbiology. Some of the active common species of animals involved in digesting cellulose rich foods are: Termites : Three intestinal bacteria from the hind gut of the subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus, identified them as (Enterobacter aerogenes, E. cloacae and Cl
