Summary

A novel approach of aerobic growth followed by anaerobic growth was used to identify the anaerobic end products of the facultative organismCellulomonas sp. (ATCC 21399) utilizing cellulose as the substrate. The organism was found to produce an equimolar mixture of ethanol and acetic acid as the two carbon end products.
