High resolution crystal structure of the Endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase responsible for the deglycosylation of hypocrea jecorina cellulases [PDF]
Endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidases (ENGases) hydrolyze the glycosidic linkage between the two N-acetylglucosamine units that make up the chitobiose core of N-glycans. The endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidases classified into glycoside hydrolase family

Fungal cellulase; production and applications: minireview [PDF]
Cellulose is the most abundant biomaterial derived from the living organisms on the earth; plant is the major contributor to the cellulose pool present in the biosphere. Cellulose is used in variety of applications ranging from nanomaterials to biofuel

There are two types of processive cellulases, exocellulases and processive endoglucanases. There are also two classes of exocellulases, ones that attack the reducing ends of cellulose chains and ones that attack the nonreducing ends. There are a number of ways of assaying processivity but none of them are ideal.

CLONING, EXPRESSION IN ESCHERICHIA-COLI, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CELLULOLYTIC ENZYMES OF AZOARCUS SP, A ROOT-INVADING DIAZOTROPH [PDF]
We screened members of a new genus of grass-associated diazotrophs (Azoarcus spp.) for the presence of cellulolytic enzymes. Out of five Azoarcus strains representing different species, only in the endorhizosphere isolate BH72, which is also capable of ...

Molecular characterization of Portuguese populations of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus using cytochrome b and cellulase genes [PDF]
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of pine wilt disease and a worldwide pest with high economic impact. Since its first diagnosis in Portugal in 1999, it has been subjected to quarantine measures with impact on forest health and ecosystem ...

Secretion and assembly of functional mini-cellulosomes from synthetic chromosomal operons in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. [PDF]
Background: Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is reliant on the simultaneous enzyme production, saccharification of biomass, and fermentation of released sugars into valuable products such as butanol. Clostridial species that produce butanol are, however,

Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

Cellulase immobilization on superparamagnetic nanoparticles for reuse in cellulosic biomass conversion [PDF]
Current cellulosic biomass hydrolysis is based on the one-time use of cellulases. Cellulases immobilized on magnetic nanocarriers offer the advantages of magnetic separation and repeated use for continuous hydrolysis. Most immobilization methods focus on
