Multimeric Hemicellulases Facilitate Biomass Conversion [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009 ABSTRACT Two highly active trifunctional hemicellulases were constructed by linking the catalytic portion of a xylanase with an arabinofuranosidase and a xylosidase, using either flexible peptide linkers or linkers containing a cellulose-binding domain.

Production and properties of hemicellulases by a Thermomyces lanuginosus strain [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2000 Thermophilic fungi producing extremely high beta-xylanase and their associated hemicellulases have attracted considerable attention because of potential industrial applications. Thermomyces lanuginosus strain SSBP isolated from soil, produced beta-xylanase activity of 59 600 nkat ml-1 when cultivated on a medium containing corn cobs as substrate and ...

Hemicellulases in the bleaching of chemical pulps
, 1997 Hemicellulase-aided bleaching is the first full-scale biotechnical application in the pulp and paper industry which truly exploits the unique specificity and safety of biocatalysts. Hemicellulases are used to modify the structure of xylan and glucomannan in pulp fibers in order to enhance the chemical delignification.

Transgenic expression of fungal accessory hemicellulases in Arabidopsis thaliana triggers transcriptional patterns related to biotic stress and defense response. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The plant cell wall is an abundant and renewable resource for lignocellulosic applications such as the production of biofuel. Due to structural and compositional complexities, the plant cell wall is, however, recalcitrant to hydrolysis and extraction of ...

Alkaline Active Hemicellulases
, 2019 Xylan and mannan are the two most abundant hemicelluloses, and enzymes that modify these polysaccharides are prominent hemicellulases with immense biotechnological importance. Among these enzymes, xylanases and mannanases which play the vital role in the hydrolysis of xylan and mannan, respectively, attracted a great deal of interest.

Separation and quantification of cellulases and hemicellulases by capillary electrophoresis
Analytical Biochemistry, 2003 Cellulases and hemicellulases are two classes of enzymes produced by filamentous fungi and secreted into the cultivation medium. Both classes of enzymes consist of a subset of classes of which the fungi produce several enzymes with varying molecular mass and pI but similar enzymatic activities.

Cellulases, Hemicellulases, and Pectinases
, 2014 The study of cellulases is important from the standpoint of microbial conversion of biomass to feeds and chemical feed stock. The complex structure of hemicelluloses has dictated a correspondingly diverse array of hemicellulases. The concentration (or actually dilution) of enzyme preparation required to effect this level of depolymerization is ...
