Abstract

Forest waste belonging to Pinus roxburghii, Cedrus deodara, Quercus leucotrichophora and Robinia pseudoacacia was chosen due to its wide abundance in local forest for solid state fermentation (SSF) by coculture of hypercellulase and xylanase producing bacteria i.e. Bacillus licheniformis and B. coagulans isolated from the forest soil. In order to enhance the accessibility of forest lignocellulosic waste to the degrading enzymes, various physico-chemical pre-treatments were given to it. SSF mode of fermentation was preferred due to its tremendous potential to enhance the biodegradation of plant residue. The conventional SSF of lignocellulosic material was compared by developing a technique by replacing the moistening agent water with modified basal salt medium. This modified technique showed the promising results for degradation of plant biomass where biodegradation of forest waste was increased to a record level of (802.24%).
