Evaluation of Screened Lignin-degrading Fungi for the Biological Pretreatment of Corn Stover

Abstract The biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a low-cost and eco-friendly method for facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, strains with lignin depletion capability were screened using a high-throughput screening method. Sixty-three strains were screened out and Myrot...
