Two mesophylic, cellulolytic strains of spore forming, anaerobic bacteria were isolated from soil samples collected at Lyczyn. The investigated strains of bacteria produced a complete complex of cellulolytic enzymes: filter paper hydrolyzing enzymes (FP-ase) and beta-endoglucanase (CMC-se). During incubation, the cellulolytic activity and protein content increased in cultural media of the two strains. The following products of cellulose degradation were identified by gas chromatography: aldehydes, propanol, butanol, ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, butyric acid and isovaleric acid
