Characterization of a microbial consortium with potential for biological degradation of cactus pear biomass for biofuel production

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species that serves as a food, feed, and bioenergy crop. O. ficus-indica is an attractive alternative biofuel feedstock due to its low water demand and high biomass productivity. Current ethanol yields from O. ficus-indica ar...
