U.S.-Hungary Research on Bioconversion of Lignocellulose

科罗拉多州立大学的Robert Tengerdy博士和布达佩斯工业大学的Jeno Toth博士的这项美国-匈牙利合作研究项目的主要目标是分离和鉴定青贮用乳酸菌，以促进木质纤维素的酶解。这些努力将解决木质纤维素同时青贮和糖化的理论可能性所涉及的基本问题，从而最终可以在农场有效地利用农业废弃物和残留物作为高度可消化的动物饲料。这个生物质工程项目通过使美国和东欧的专家能够结合互补的人才，并在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域共享研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。

The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Robert Tengerdy of Colorado State University and Dr. Jeno Toth of the Technical University of Budapest is to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria for ensiling to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. These efforts will address fundamental questions underlying the theoretical possibility of simultaneous ensiling and saccharification of lignocellulose such that, eventually, agricultural wastes and residues might be efficiently utilized on the farm for highly digestible animal feed. This project in biomass engineering fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
