Comparison of microbial diversity and carbohydrate-active enzymes in the hindgut of two wood-feeding termites, Globitermes sulphureus (Blattaria: Termitidae) and Coptotermes formosanus (Blattaria: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Wood-feeding termites have been employed as sources of novel and highly efficient lignocellulolytic enzymes due to their ability to degrade lignocellulose efficiently.

An Engineered Laccase from Fomitiporia mediterranea Accelerates Lignocellulose Degradation [PDF]

Biomolecules
Laccases from white-rot fungi catalyze lignin depolymerization, a critical first step to upgrading lignin to valuable biodiesel fuels and chemicals. In this study, a wildtype laccase from the basidiomycete Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fom_lac) and a variant

Structure-guided engineering of transcriptional activator XYR1 for inducer-free production of lignocellulolytic enzymes in Trichoderma reesei

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2023
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is widely used for the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes in industry. XYR1 is the major transcriptional activator of cellulases and hemicellulases in T. reesei.

CAZymes from the thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus are induced by C5 and C6 sugars

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Filamentous fungi are excellent lignocellulose degraders, which they achieve through producing carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes). CAZyme production is highly orchestrated and gene expression analysis has greatly expanded understanding of ...
