Abstract
Disclosed are microbial compositions having unique combinations of microbial species which are used in plant material recycling to form a nutrient source. Also disclosed microbial inoculants which contains such a microbial composition, water, and an optional carbon source. The microbial compositions and microbial inoculants are particularly useful in recycling high lignin-content plant material. Methods of making and methods of using the microbial compositions and the microbial inoculants are also described.
