DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Rod Mackie\, Dept of Animal Sciences and Divisio
 n of Nutritional Sciences\, Institute for Genomic Biology\, University of I
 llinois The development of alternatives to fossil fuels as\nenergy source i
 s an urgent global and national priority. Green plants capture solar energy
  and fix carbon as renewable cellulosic biomass that has the potential to c
 ontribute to fuel needs\, though\nmany obstacles remain before this can be 
 realized. One of the major limitations to plant biomass conversion is the e
 fficient enzymatic degradation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic polymers in
  plant\ncell walls. In the guts of grazing animals\, microbes are primarily
  responsible for the production of these digestive enzymes. Better understa
 nding of the capabilities of these microbes is the key to\nimproved biomass
  utilization.

 llinois / Herbivory in lizards is rare. Cultivation- and\ncultivation-indep
 endent molecular approaches have been applied to the detection\, identifica
 tion and quantification of gut bacterial populations in iguanas endemic to 
 the Galapagos Islands. The\nresults strongly support the contention that th
 ese unique herbivorous lizards are largely dependent on the presence and me
 tabolic activities of a resident bacterial population in order to hydrolyze
 \nand ferment plant polymers that are indigestible to the host.
