Fig. 1From: Robust microorganisms for biofuel and chemical production from municipal solid wastePercentage composition of OMSW fibre. A constructed batch of OMSW fibre was produced by autoclave pre-treatment of a materials mixture that reflects the composition of MSW from an average British household [23]. The dried and milled fibre was subjected to a range of compositional analyses as described in methods. Oil and protein are ethanol and water soluble, respectively, and are shown as a fraction of non-structural components extracted by water or ethanol. The monosaccharide composition of hemicellulose is shown in the smaller pie chart. All data are averages of at least triplicate analyses. Full data table given in Additional file 1: Table S1.
