Development of Enrichment Cultures that Degrade Lignin for Enhanced Biofuel Production

The primary goal of this project is to assess the ability of enrichment cultures to degrade/depolymerize lignin and enhance the bioavailability of cellulose and hemicelluloses (and thus, enhance saccharification) in alfalfa and switchgrass.
