Isolation and Characterization of Cellulolytic and Lignocellulolytic Microorganisms from Tropical Rainforest Soils: Environmental Correlates and Biotechnological Potential
Cellulolytic and lignocellulolytic microbes play an important role in the decomposition of plant biomass, but their isolation in tropical rainforest soil is often hindered by microbial competition, fungal growth dominance, and variations in pH and nutrient content that affect the viability of the isolates. This study a...
