Multivariate analyses depicting the degradation potential of all MAMC. Redundancy analyses (RDA) were performed using the degradation results on all three lignocellulose components of all synthetic communities (blue circles) as well as the individual strains (as environmental data, in red). Degradation activity of MAMC is based on the FITR method whereas that from individual strains is based on MUF analyzes. Arrows indicate the activity of each lignocellulose component. An ellipse highlights the synthetic communities with > 30% degradation potential, when compared to the total amount of lignocellulose available in the sugarcane bagasse or straw
