Notes:
Abstract Two Streptomyces strains were grown on sugarcane bagasse and groundnut hulls lignocelluloses in semi-solid state culture at 37°C for 12 weeks. Best results gave a 45% depletion of sugarcane bagasse lignocellulose with a 21% crude protein content of final material. The possibility of using S. viridosporus to improve the protein content of both lignocelluloses for use as an animal feedstock supplement is discussed.
