The impacts of pretreatment on the fermentability of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass: a comparative evaluation between ammonia fiber expansion and dilute acid pretreatment [PDF]
, 2009 Background Pretreatment chemistry is of central importance due to its impacts on cellulosic biomass processing and biofuels conversion. Ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) and dilute acid are two promising pretreatments using alkaline and acidic pH that have ...

Hemicellulase activity of antarctic microfungi [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1999 The mannanase (endo-beta-1,4-mannanase; E.C. 3.2.1.78) and xylanase (endo-beta-1,4-xylanase; E.C. 3.2.1.8) activity of five microfungal isolates from Antarctica were characterized at different temperatures and pH. In general, the hemicellulase activity of the antarctic strains occurred at least 10 degrees C and as much as 30 degrees C lower than that ...

Efficient Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Biomass Hemicellulose in the Absence of Bulk Water
Molecules, 2019 Current enzymatic methods for hemicellulosic biomass depolymerization are solution-based, typically require a harsh chemical pre-treatment of the material and large volumes of water, yet lack in efficiency. In our study, xylanase (E.C.

Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources [PDF]
, 2015 Fungi have the ability to degrade xylan as the major component of plant cell wall hemicellulose. Fungi have evolved batteries of xylanolytic enzymes that concertedly act to depolymerise xylan backbones decorated with variable carbohydrate branches. As an

Expression of the C-terminal family 22 carbohydratebinding module of xylanase 10B of Clostridium themocellum in tobacco plant [PDF]
, 2009 Carbohydrate-binding modules have been shown to alter plant cell wall structural architecture. Hence, they have the potential application of being used to engineer the plant to produce tailor-made natural fibers in the cell wall.
