Carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase)-producing obligate anaerobes were isolated from the intestinal tract contents but not the feeding habitat of seagrass-consuming pinfish. Taxonomic characterization of these CMCase-producing strains revealed four taxonomic clusters; three were clostridial and one was of unknown taxonomic affinity. Our results demonstrated that the CMCase-producing obligate anaerobe community from pinfish differed from functionally similar microbial communities in terrestrial herbivores.
从摄食海草的九棘鲈的肠道内容物中分离到产羧甲基纤维素酶(CMCase)的专性厌氧菌,但未从摄食栖息地中分离到。这些产 CMCase 菌株的分类特征表明存在四个分类群;其中三个是梭菌,一个是分类学上未知的亲缘关系。我们的结果表明,来自九棘鲈的产 CMCase 专性厌氧菌群落与陆地草食动物中功能相似的微生物群落不同。
