Study of the methods of extraction and identification of peat microorganisms for optimization of lignocellulose hydrolysis

Nowadays, the production of biofuel from renewable raw materials is the topical research field. As compared to fossil fuels, ethanol derived from plants is climate neutral and does not contribute to anthropogenic greenhouse effect. In the Tver region, peat is one of the raw materials that can be used for bioethanol production. Peat hydrolysates contain a wide range of sugars, which can be used in various industries. In this work, microorganisms found in peat soils were investigated and identified. Methods of sowing and microscopy were used to obtain specific information on the genus of soil microorganisms. During the work, soil microorganisms were isolated from peat, namely micromycetes of the genus Penicillium and Trichderma and actinomycetes of the genus Actinomyces and bacteria of the genus Bacillus. The hydrolytic destruction of the resulting culture liquid was further studied under the influence of the hydromodule. Quantitative analysis of the reaction mass was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography.
