Defining functional diversity for lignocellulose degradation in a microbial community using multi-omics studies

Abstract Background Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant forms of fixed carbon in the biosphere. Current industrial approaches to the degradation of lignocellulose employ enzyme mixtures, usually from a single fungal species, which are only effective in hydrolyzing polysaccharides following bi...
