Abstract: Termites Indotermes isodentatus’ s varietas living in Pterocarpus indicus Willd were collected in Hainan to isolate cellulase producing bacteria from the intestinal tract of the termites. A bacterial strain producing cellulase was screened by selective culture with CMC-Na as the only source of carbon. This bacterial strain was preliminarily identified to be under Bacillus. The cellulase produced from the bacteria strain showed an activity of( 7. 813 ±0. 340) U·mL-1 when the strain was cultured for 48h.
