Biotic solubilization of plant biomass substrates by GDL knockout strains. (A) Avicel microcrystalline cellulose; (B) Cave-in-Rock switchgrass; (C) poplar natural variant GW-9947; (D) poplar natural variant GW-9762. Biotic solubilization was calculated by subtracting the solubilization in the thermal abiotic control to reflect only the biotic contribution to solubilization. The abiotic thermal solubilization values were as follows: 2.1% for Avicel, 19.6% for switchgrass, 10.6% for poplar GW-9947, and 10.7% for poplar GW-9762. Error bars represent standard deviations (n = 3).
