Microbial pretreatment on corn stover by an effective lignin-degrading fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora was studied. The substrate characteristics such as moisture content and particle size were studied for obtaining maximum sugar yield. The main and interactive effects of moisture content, particle size and cultivation time on enzymatic digestibility of corn stover was obtained. The fungal-treated corn stover was mainly analyzed for lignin degradation and cellulose conversion.
