Microorganisms for Biorefining of Green Biomass

Traditional green crops such as grass, clover, alfalfa as well as new (halophytic) green biomass of Salicornia have great potential to be utilised in the concept of the green biorefinery, where the first step is a wet fractionation of the biomass to yield a sugar- and protein-rich juice and a lignocellulosic pulp fraction.
