Lignocellulose degrading enrichment microcosms from pulp mill anaerobic granules (16S rRNA gene amplicons and shotgun metagenomes). bioreactor metagenome

To bioprospect novel lignocellulolytic enzymes, lignocellulose-degrading enrichment microcosms were derived from pulp mill anaerobic granules after long-term (3-year) amendment with i) cellulose, ii) cellulose plus lignosulphonate, iii) cellulose plus tannic acid, iv) steam-exploded poplar.This amplicon sequencing project targeted the V6-8 hypervariable region of 16S rRNA genes of the extracted metagenomic DNA from inocula and derived microcosms for community survey.
