Ecological Insights into the Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Microbial Consortia [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2017 Plant biomass (PB) is an important resource for biofuel production. However, the frequent lack of efficiency of PB saccharification is still an industrial bottleneck. The use of enzyme cocktails produced from PB-degrading microbial consortia (PB-dmc) is a promising approach to optimize this process.
