Valorisation of wheat straw and bioethanol production by a novel xylanase- and cellulase-producing Streptomyces strain isolated from the wood-feeding termite, Microcerotermes species

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an unlimited and ubiquitous energy source, effectively addressing current global energy demand challenges. However, the recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose hinders microbial degradation, necessitating an appropriate hydrolytic enzyme production source for biomass valorisation and bioethanol production. This study might be the first to explore a novel bacterial species Streptomyces sp. strain MS-S2, isolated...
