  • Up to 8% of microbial biomass
  • Important group of organisms; they attach to plant material to digest the fiber
  • They have solubilized small amounts of lignin from plant cell walls, breaking it down into small pieces for bacteria to digest
  • High cellulose and hemicellulase activities
  • Have a germination cycle of 24 hours
