Abstract
Sixteen strains of rumen bacteria and 21 protozoal preparations were screened for glycoside hydrolase and phosphatase activity, using 22 nitrophenyl glycoside substrates. The range and level of bacterial enzyme activities were species dependent, although, the glycosidases associated with plant cell wall breakdown were most active in the cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic species. Alkaline phosphatase occurred widely in the organisms examined, but was most active in the twoBacteroides ruminicola strains.
