Linking genome content to biofuel production yields: a meta-analysis of major catabolic pathways among select H<sub>2</sub> and ethanol-producing bacteria

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Fermentative bacteria offer the potential to convert lignocellulosic waste-streams into biofuels such as hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) and ethanol. Current fermentative H<sub>2</sub> and ethanol yields, however, ar...
