Bioconversion of agricultural solid waste (banana tree stem) by mixed culture for use as carbon source for fermentation medium

Lignocellulosic waste can be useful if the cellulose can be freed from the lignin so that the cellulose can be converted into sugar and be used as the carbon source for fermentation medium. The glucose can be produced by anaerobic digestion which involve the process of breaking up the lignin compone...
