Biodegradation of creosote-treated wood by two novel constructed microbial consortia for the enhancement of methane production

Sameh Samir Ali et al.

Summary: The study investigated the biodegradation of creosote treated wood (CTW) for biomethane production, with two novel CTW-degrading microbial consortia successfully reducing lignocellulosic content and increasing methane yields. Comparisons of ecotoxicity between treated and untreated CTW showed a significant decrease in toxicity after biodegradation, demonstrating the promising potential of the constructed microbial consortia for biofuel production and bioremediation.
