Abstract
A great number of plant residues remain in the soil after harvesting almost all types of agricultural crops. At the same time, such residues mostly consist of cellulose, which can enrich the soil with feed sources for further agricultural crops. However, plants are not able to use cellulose itself, and thus great importance is given to various microorganisms involved in the cleavage of cellulose to more simple compounds. Within the framework of this work, the cellulolytic ability of 221 strains of bacteria isolated earlier from soil and peat samples was studied. The obtained data made it possible to select 35 strains with the highest cellulose activity. Most of the studied bacterial cultures had no antagonistic properties towards each other, which allows to use them together in the developed biopreparations. In conclusion, we offer a scheme for the production of experimental biopreparations to evaluate the collaborative work of selected bacterial strains directly in the field.
