Cellulase producing microorganisms, GPC-1, GPC-2, GNR-1 GNR-2, and GNR-3, were screened from the Rumen fluid of Korean Native Cattle. Isolated GPC-1 and GPC-2 were identified as Ruminococcus sp. according to results of the Gram stain and anaerobic characteristics. Based on morphological and physicochemical identification, the isolate GPC-1 and GPC-2 were identified as strains of Ruminococcus albus and Ruminococcus flavefaciens, respectively. Isolated GNR-1 GNR-2 and GNR-3 were identified as Bacteroides sp., Butyrivibrio sp. and Clostridium sp. according to results of the Gram stain, $H_2S$ producition and spore formation, respectively. Based on morphological and physicochemical identification, the isolate GNR-1 GNR-2 and GNR-3 were identified as strains of Bacteroides succinogenes, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens and Clostridium cellobioparum, respectively.
