Cellulomonas cartae, previously known as Brevibacterium fermentans, Brevibacterium lyticum, and Nocardia cellulans, is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus Cellulosimicrobium.

Applications:

• Enzyme Production: C. cartae is a major source of yeast-lytic enzymes due to its effective glucanases and mannanases.

• Biodegradation: It contributes to the breakdown of BaP, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
