The biodegradation of lignocellulose, the most abundant organic material in the biosphere,
is a feature of many aerobic, facultatively anaerobic and obligately anaerobic bacteria and …

The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass is a major constraint to its high-value use at
industrial scale. In nature, microbes play a crucial role in biomass degradation, nutrient …

Discovering novel bacterial strains might be the link to unlocking the value in lignocellulosic
bio-refinery as we strive to find alternative and cleaner sources of energy. Bacteria display …

As the fossil fuel reserves are depleting rapidly, there is a need for alternate fuels to meet the
day to day mounting energy demands. As fossil fuel started depleting, a quest for alternate …

In view of rising prices of crude oil due to increasing fuel demands, the need for alternative
sources of bioenergy is expected to increase sharply in the coming years. Among potential …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is produced in large quantities throughout the world every
year and represents a major sink for photosynthetically fixed carbon. However, in some …

Forest soils represent important terrestrial carbon (C) pools, where C is primarily fixed in
plant biomass and then is incorporated in the biomass of fungi and bacteria. Although …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising substrate for biogas production. However, its
recalcitrant structure limits conversion efficiency. This study aims to design a microbial …

Feedstock for biofuel synthesis is transitioning to lignocelluosic biomass to address criticism
over competition between first generation biofuels and food production. As microbial …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is an attractive source of carbon for the production of sugars
and other chemicals. Due to its inherent complexity and heterogeneity, efficient …
