Objective

1. AN EXAMINATION OF THE MICROBIAL DEGRADATION OF CELLULOSE AND CELLULOSE-CONTAINING MATERIALS.
2. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON THE USE OF INTERACTING MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN CELLULOLYSIS. THESE WILL BE ENRICHED FROM DIFFERENT NATURAL SOURCES AND USING A VARIETY OF ENRICHMENT PROCEDURES.
3. A DETAILED EXAMINATION OF A FEW, SELECTEC COMMUNITIES TO DETERMINE THE GROWTH CONDITIONS WHICH MAXIMISE THE RATE OF CELLULOSE DEGRADATION.
4. A STUDY OF THE GENETIC MANIPULATION OF THE COMPONENT MEMBERS OF CELLULYTIC COMMUNITIES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE RATE OF CELLULOSE DEGRADATION.
