Discovery of microorganisms and enzymes involved in high-solids decomposition of rice straw using metagenomic analyses.

High-solids incubations were performed to enrich for microbial communities and enzymes that decompose rice straw under mesophilic (35°C) and thermophilic (55°C) conditions. Thermophilic enrichments yielded a community that was 7.5 times more metabolically active on rice straw than mesophilic enrichm...
