Construction of Effective Minimal Active Microbial Consortia for Lignocellulose Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Enriched microbial communities, obtained from environmental samples through selective processes, can effectively contribute to lignocellulose degradation. Unfortunately, fully controlled industrial degradation processes are difficult to reach given the intrinsically dynamic nature and complexity of the microbial communities, composed of a large number of culturable and unculturable species. The use of less complex but equally effective microbial consortia could improve their applications by allowing for more controlled industrial processes. Here, we combined ecological theory and enrichment principles to develop an effective lignocellulose-degrading minimal active microbial Consortia (MAMC). Following an enrichment of soil bacteria capable of degrading lignocellulose material from sugarcan
