and promising biofuel feedstock. Its biological pretreatment and potential for energetic
conversion to biomethane were investigated, since some macroalgae have hard cell walls
that present an obstacle to efficient methane production when those substrates are used. It
has been revealed by anaerobic digestion assays that pretreatment with a Bm-2 strain
(Trametes hirsuta) isolated from decaying wood in Yucatan, Mexico was 104 L CH4 kg· VS …
