Quantitative fermentation of unpretreated transgenic poplar by Caldicellulosiruptor bescii

Metabolizing lignocellulosic feedstocks to industrial chemicals by microorganisms requires surmounting  the recalcitrance caused by lignin. Here, the authors pair transgenic lignin modified poplar lines with engineered Caldicellusiruptor bescii to achieve biomass solubilization and ethanol conversio...
