The aims of this study were to evaluate the microbial diversity of different lignocellulosic
biomasses during degradation under natural conditions and to isolate, select, characterise …

Background Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant forms of fixed carbon in the
biosphere. Current industrial approaches to the degradation of lignocellulose employ …

The mechanisms by which specific anaerobic microorganisms remain firmly attached to
lignocellulosic material, allowing them to efficiently decompose organic matter, have yet to …

The use of plant materials to generate renewable biofuels and other high-value chemicals is
the sustainable and preferable option, but will require considerable improvements to …

The efficient degradation of lignocellulose is a bottleneck for its integrated utilization. This
research performed species analysis and made functional predictions in various ecosystems …

Second-generation biofuel production is in high demand, but lignocellulosic biomass'
complexity impairs its use due to the vast diversity of enzymes necessary to execute the …

Background Mixed microbial cultures, in which bacteria and fungi interact, have been
proposed as an efficient way to deconstruct plant waste. The characterization of specific …

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 …

Despite multiple research efforts, the current strategies for exploitation of lignocellulosic
plant matter are still far from optimal, being hampered mostly by the difficulty of degrading …

Sustainable and practically viable biofuels production technology using lignocellulosic
biomass is still seeking its way of implementation owing to some major issues involved …
