Insights on bio-degumming of kenaf bast based on metagenomic and proteomics. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Abstract Background: Microbia play important roles in kanef-degumming. This study is to identify the key candidate microbia and proteins responsible for the degumming of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) bast. Kenaf bast was cut into species and immersed into microbial fermentation liquid collected from different sites.
