A sporulating, aerobic Bacillus sp., isolated from Chimanimani hot springs, Zimbabwe, produced endoglucanase when cultured on medium with initial pH between 5.0 and 9.0 and at 30 to 60ยฐC. Optimal production of endoglucanase was at pH 6.0. The enzyme was constitutively produced when the organism was

## Abstract A halotolerant strain FPโ133, able to grow at concentrations of 0โ12.5% (w/v) NaCl, was isolated from a fish paste and identified as __Bacillus subtilis__ . __B. subtilis__ strain FPโ133 produced an intracellular protease which showed catalytic activity under saline conditions. The enzy
The production of endo-beta-1,4-glucanase by a Bacillus strain isolated from a hot spring in Zimbabwe was studied in batch culture, chemostat culture, and carbon dioxide-regulated auxostat (CO2-auxostat). The bacteria produced the enzyme in the presence of excess glucose or sucrose, but not under ca
