Cellulolytic and Xylanolytic Enzymes from Yeasts: Properties and Industrial Applications
Lignocellulose, the main component of plant cell walls, comprises polyaromatic lignin and fermentable materials, cellulose and hemicellulose. It is a plentiful and renewable feedstock for chemicals and energy.

Adsorption of cellulases onto sugar beet shreds and modeling of the experimental data [PDF]
This study investigated the adsorption of cellulases onto sugar beet shreds. The experiments were carried out using untreated, as well as dried and not dried dilute acid and steam pretreated sugar beet shreds at different initial enzyme loads ...

Cellulases and beyond: the first 70 years of the enzyme producer Trichoderma reesei
More than 70 years ago, the filamentous ascomycete Trichoderma reesei was isolated on the Solomon Islands due to its ability to degrade and thrive on cellulose containing fabrics. This trait that relies on its secreted cellulases is nowadays exploited by

An Active of Extracellular Cellulose Degrading Enzyme from Termite Bacterial Endosimbiont
Cellulase is an ezyme that specifically cleaves the 1,4-β-glycosidic bond of cellulose to produce the small fragments of simple carbohydrate. This work was aimed to characterize the extracellular cellulase from Paenibacillus spp., which was previously ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.
