In Georgia, a group of researchers led by the University of Georgia\u2019s Mike Adams have found another thermophilic bacterium with amazing properties – this time, finding a bacterium that can, without pretreatment, break down biomass, including lignin, and release sugars for biofuels and chemicals production.<\/b><\/p>\n

The group writes in Energy & Environmental Science<\/a>, “the majority (85%) of insoluble switchgrass biomass that had not been previously chemically treated was degraded at 78\u00b0C by the anaerobic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii<\/i>. Remarkably, the glucose\/xylose\/lignin ratio and physical and spectroscopic properties of the remaining insoluble switchgrass were not significantly different than those of the untreated plant material. C. bescii<\/i> is therefore able to solubilize lignin as well as the carbohydrates and, accordingly, lignin-derived aromatics were detected in the culture supernatants.\u201d<\/p>\n
