Abstract: A cellulase-producing bacteria strain JJ-3 with high activity was isolated from the soil containing rotted leaves, which was identified as Klebsiella oxytoca based on the 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The optimal enzyme-producing conditions of strain JJ-3 was investigated and was as follows:filter paper as carbon source, peptone as nitrogen source, pH8.0, three-day fermentation. And the fermentation culture had higher FPase activity under neutral and alkaline conditions, with 118.7 U/mL(pH7.0), 167.8 U/mL(pH8.0), 120 U/mL(pH9.0). The results of enzymatic characterization showed that the optimal pH and temperature for enzyme reaction was 7.0 and 40℃, respectively. FPase was sensitive to temperature, while it kept good stability during the pH7.0 to 8.0. This study suggested that the cellulase from strain JJ-3 meets the request of neutral and alkaline cellulase.
