Characterizing corn-straw-degrading actinomycetes and evaluating application efficiency in straw-returning experiments.

ABSTRACT: Corn straw is an abundant lignocellulose resource and by-product of agricultural production. With the continuous increase in agricultural development, the output of corn straw is also increasing significantly. However, the inappropriate disposal of straw results in wasting of resources, and also causes a serious ecological crisis. Screening microorganisms with the capacity to degrade straw and understanding their mechanism of action is an efficient approach to solve such problems. For this purpose, our research group isolated three actinomycete strains with efficient lignocellulose degradation ability from soil in the cold region of China: Streptomyces sp. G1^T, Streptomyces sp. G2^T and Streptomyces sp. G3^T. Their microbial properties an
