摘要

This study reports the isolation and identification of a cellulase-producing Streptomyces strain from soil, characterized through morphological, biochemical, and molecular (16S-rRNA gene analysis) methods as Streptomyces alfalfae GHS22. The strain exhibited significant cellulolytic activity, with preliminary assays revealing optimal activity (29.32 U/mL) under specific conditions (pH 7, 25 °C, 1% CMC, 4-day incubation). Statistical approaches (Plackett–Burman design) identified CMC concentration, temperature, and incubation time as key factors influencing enzyme activity (p < 0.05, R2 = 0.998). Further optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) yielded a cellulase activity of 52.15 U/mL under predicted optimal conditions (27.5 °C, 0.75% CMC, 2-day incubation). These results highlight the biotechnological potential of S. alfalfae GHS22 for industrial applications, particularly in biofuel and enzyme production, while contributing to the understanding of microbial physiology and environmental adaptation.
