A method of producing lactic acid or a salt or an ester thereof, which includes incubating lignocellulosic hydrolysates in the presence of cells of an isolated strain ofat a temperature above 70 degrees Celsius, wherein thecomprises a 16S rDNA sequence at least 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6, SEQ ID NO. 7, and SEQ ID NO. 8

Methods of producing lactic acid or a salt or an ester thereof by using a versatile extremely thermophilic bacteria

The present technology pertains to methods and microbial co-cultures for converting lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and/or other carbon-based chemicals. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to novel consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) methods by which the efficiency of the production of biofuels and/or other carbon-based chemicals from cellulosic biomass-containing materials can be increased. In particular, the present disclosure provides numerous microbiological co-cultures for increasing the efficiency of ethanol and/or lactic acid production from biomass.

Methods and microbial cultures for improved conversion of lignocellulosic biomass

A method for converting lignocellulosic biomass material to a carboxylic acid comprising the step of contacting the lignocellulosic biomass material with a microbial culture for a period of time at an initial temperature and an initial pH, thereby producing an amount of a carboxylic acid; wherein the microbial culture comprises an extremely thermophilic bacteria strain selected from the group consisting ofsp. DIB041C,sp. DIB087C,sp. DIB103C,sp. DIB104C,sp. DIB107C,sp. DIB101C, andsp. DIB004C, and wherein the lignocellulosic biomass material is converted in a single step process as part of a consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) system.
