Cellulolytic enzymes produced by spore-forming bacteria seem to be a potential solution to the degradation of lignocellulosic waste. In this study, several dozen bacterial spore-forming strains were isolated from soil and one of them was selected for further studies. The studied bacterial strain was identified to genus Bacillus (strain 8E1A) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bacillus sp. 8E1A showed an activity of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) with visualization with Congo Red-25 mm (size of clear zone). To study CMCase, filter paper hydrolase (FPase), and microcrystalline cellulose Avicel hydrolase (Avicelase) production, three different cellulose sources were used for bacterial strain cultivation: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), filter paper (FP), and microcrystalline cellulose Avicel. The highest CMCase (0.617 U mL−1), FPase (0.903 U mL−1), and Avicelase (0.645 U mL−1) production of Bacillus sp. 8E1A was noted for using CMC (after 216 h of incubation), Avicel cellulose (after 144 h of incubation), and CMC (after 144 h of incubation), respectively. Subsequently, the cellulases’ activity was measured at various temperatures and pH values. The optimal temperature for CMCase (0.535 U mL−1) and Avicelase (0.666 U mL−1) activity was 70 °C. However, the highest FPase (0.868 U mL−1) activity was recorded at 60 °C. The highest CMCase and Avicelase activity was recorded at pH 7.0 (0.520 and 0.507 U mL−1, respectively), and the optimum activity of FPase was noted at pH 6.0 (0.895 U mL−1). These results indicate that the cellulases produced by the Bacillus sp. 8E1A may conceivably be used for lignocellulosic waste degradation in industrial conditions.
