glucose, respectively. Moreover, the hydrolysate also had radical scavenging activity indicating about its possible application in animal feed. The maximum (35.71 %) amount of bioethanol was produced when UE25 fermented the hydrolysate of SB. The strains UE10 and UE27 produced 31.16 and 27.77 % bioethanol, respectively. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and gravimetric analysis showed the impact of cellulase on structure of SB. Hence, this work expands the understanding of the potential of thermophilic bacterial strains to utilize agricultural waste for the synthesis of valuable products.
