Bacteria lignocellulose

All laboratory tests for biological resistance conducted to this point show that acetylation is an effective means of reducing or eliminating attack by soft-, white-, and brown-rot fungi, tunneling bacteria, and subterranean termites. Tests are presently underway on several lignocellulosic composites in outdoor environments.

Noteworthy results have been attained also with our strain collection of lactic acid bacteria, of lignocellulose-degrading microbes, and their technological application.

Continuous fermentation has previously been tested for cellulosic substrates (e.g., glucose conversion) by thermophilic anaerobic bacteria [24,25] however, the present study is, to our best knowledge, the first one dealing with continuous cofermentation of glucose and xylose derived from lignocellulosic biomass using these microorganisms. 

Bacteria are commonly found in timber exposed in very diverse environments. The bacteria may be divided into degrading and nondegrading species. The former may be further divided into two groups bacteria that degrade only pit membranes and bacteria that actively attack the lignocellulose structure of the wood cell wall (i.e., true wood-degrading bacteria).
