Streptomyces sp. Strain AT7 releases both carboxymethylcellulose (Cx) and Avicelase (C1) enzymes during growth in liquid medium with maximal activities, measured as mg/ml/h, of 6.0 and 13.6 obtained at 36ºC for 2 and 9 day incubation periods respectively. Cx kept its activity at 42ºC till the end of the incubation period (18 days) while C1 lost almost 50% of its activity at the same time. Maximum yields of cell growth (protein) obtained at 28º, 36º and 42ºC; were 0.23, 0.22 and 0.25 g/ml respectively.

Keywords: Streptomycetes, Cellulase Activity, Carboxymethylcellulase, Avicelase.
