The microbial consortium was incubated in PCSmediumcontaining 1% cellulosic
substrates (bagasse, rice straw, and corn stover, industrial eucalyptus pulp sludge,
and filter paper). Residual solid cellulosic substrates were analyzed after incubation
with the microbial consortium for7dat 50◦C under the defined aerobic static conditions.
The residual substrates were then determined gravimetrically after drying at
80 ◦C for 2 d with uninoculated medium as a control. %Residual weight was reported
based on total holocellulose content. The reactions were performed in triplicate and
the averages of the results were reported.
