Unpretreated switchgrass by microbial action at high temperature

C. bescii

BESC researchers from the University of Georgia, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, North Carolina State University and Georgia Tech collaborated on a publication titled; Carbohydrate and lignin are simultaneously solubilized from unpretreated switchgrass by microbial action at high temperature in Energy & Environmental Science which states “the majority (85%) of insoluble switchgrass biomass that had not been previously chemically treated was degraded at 78 °C by the anaerobic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii."
