The increased concern regarding the depletion of oil supply and emission of greenhouse gases urges measures to find renewable fuel alternatives. Ethanol is one among such fuel, which could be produced from lignocellulosic biomass especially agricultural wastes. This study provides the first evidence of the lignocellulolytic and saccharifying ability of a biogas plant derived Stenotrophomonas sp. JSR-001, a Gram-negative proteobacterium. The isolate has exhibited the highest filter paper unit effect, endoglucanase, exoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, β-glucosidase, xylanase and ligninase production with hydrolytic potential and efficient saccharification competence in ammonia pretreated biomass. It was also found to degrade the paddy and sorghum into simple, reducing sugars through its lignocelluloses enzyme complex with the limited utilization of sugars.
