Hemicellulose-degrading bacterium
<B><I>Paenibacillus</I> sp. JDR-2</B>. <I>Paenibacillus</I> sp. JDR-2 was isolated from sweet gum stem wood buried in surface soil. This organism is able to break down methylglucuronxylan in hemicellulose. <I>Paenibacillus</I> sp. JDR-2 may be useful in the production of alternative fuels from plant biomass.
