Application of rumen microorganisms for enhanced anaerobic fermentation of corn stover

Efficient anaerobic transformation of raw wheat straw by a robust cow rumen-derived microbial consortium

“…2b). This VFA profile is quite typical for acidogenic systems at neutral and slightly acidic pH (Hu and Yu, 2005). Similarly, the straw composition determined in this study reveals a yield of 0.65 g.g -1 (or 0.74 g eq AA.g -1 ).…”

Investigation of effect of particle size and rumen fluid addition on specific methane yields of high lignocellulose grass silage

“…It has been reported that rumen fluid can potentially breakdown cellulose structures in such materials faster than other inoculum sources (Yue et al, 2013). In semi-continuous digestion of corn stover, the use of strained rumen fluid inoculum effected rapid destruction of VS and generated a high production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) (Hu and Yu, 2005). A study comparing two inoculum sources, digester sludge and rumen fluid, for the digestion of aquatic plants indicated that rumen fluid increased product formation rate in terms of g chemical oxygen demand (COD) per g total solids (Yue et al, 2012).…”

Effect of biological pretreatment with Trametes hirsuta yj9 on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover

“…Most of the corn stover is burned or directly discarded resulting in resource waste and environment pollution (Zhang et al, 2006;Wu and Ma, 2008). Recently, many studies about effective utilization of lignocellulose have been carried out (Kadam and McMillan, 2003;Hu and Yu, 2005;Sun et al, 2010;Cui et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2011).…”
