Development of a thermophilic coculture for corn fiber conversion to ethanol

Development of a thermophilic coculture for corn fiber conversion to ethanol

Corn fiber is a difficult feedstock to utilize due to its recalcitrant hemicellulose. Here, the authors characterize the recalcitrant structures, isolate a new bacterium to consume the hemicellulose, identify its enzymes, and show the benefit with increased conversion of corn fiber to ethanol.
