Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to use the microbe that grows under low-nutrition and to make a woody biomass a useful resource. A number of yeast were isolated that used woody biomass as the only carbon source. It was clear that the powder type of the straw was more easily degradable than the solid type of that. The powder type of the straw was cultured for long term. Before and after incubation, changes of the surface condition of the straw were examined with the SEM (scanning electron microscope). These results point out the possibility that the yeast which can be grown under low-nutrition can transform woody biomass into effective resource.
