cellulolytic Bacillus and fermentative Clostridium were studied in batch experiments using
different carbon substrates to bio-mimic the termite gut for hydrogen production. Their fungus
comb aging and the in vitro lignocellulosic degradation of the mango tree substrates by the
synergistic interaction of Bacillus, Clostridium and Termitomyces were detected by Solid-
state NMR. From the results, Bacillus species acted as a mutualist, by initiating an anaerobic …
