NOVEL EXTREME THERMOPHILIC BACTERIA OF THE GENUS CALDICELLULOSIRUPTOR

摘要

The present disclosure pertains to novel isolated cellulolytic extreme thermophilic bacterial cells belonging to the genus Caldicellulosiruptor, mutants thereof, isolated strains, microbial cultures and microbial compositions. The novel bacteria are in particular suitable for the production of fermentation products such as ethanol and lactic acid from lignocellulosic biomass.
