Abstract

Synthetic microbial consortia could efficiently produce biofuels from lignocellulose through labor division between different species. However, the incompatible growth conditions between lignocellulose degraders and biofuel producers might limit the overall conversion efficiency. We discuss recent examples of biofuel production using microbial consortia and suggest steps toward realistic implementation.
