Dietary fibre optimisation in support of global health
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.Dietary fibre is an essential component of healthy diets. It exerts its actions on the human host largely via the intestinal microbiota. The interplay of fibre, microbiota and health are discussed in the context of different lifestyle settings across the globe. Finally, fibre‐based intervention strategies to improve health are considered.

Community and functionality of fungi in the gastrointestinal tracts of herbivores revealed by omics
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2018 Fungi are the major microbes to exploit fiber degrading enzymes. Anaerobic fungi possess hydrogenosomes and cellulosomes to improve their energy supply in anaerobic environment, and their thick cell wall or spore-like structure help them adapt adverse ...

The prospects of cellulase-producing bacteria for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2009 Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable and abundant resource with great potential for bioconversion to value-added bioproducts. However, the biorefining process remains economically unfeasible due to a lack of biocatalysts that can overcome costly ...

Significance of relative position of cellulases in designer cellulosomes for optimized cellulolysis.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Degradation of cellulose is of major interest in the quest for alternative sources of renewable energy, for its positive effects on environment and ecology, and for use in advanced biotechnological applications.

Recombinant Cellulase and Cellulosome Systems [PDF]
, 2013 The non-renewable fossil resources currently exploited by the oil and gas industries are the objects of growing concern owing to their finite supply and contribution to global warming. Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable alternative to fossil resources, and has the added advantage of not competing with human and animal nutrition.

BACILLUS SUBTILIS SJ01 PRODUCES HEMICELLULOSE DEGRADING MULTI-ENZYME COMPLEXES
BioResources, 2012 Cellulose and hemicellulose account for a large portion of the world’s plant biomass. In nature, these polysaccharides are intertwined, forming complex materials that require multiple enzymes to degrade them.
