A Fungal Secretome Adapted for Stress Enabled a Radical Wood Decay Mechanism
mBio, 2021 Brown rot fungi release massive amounts of carbon from forest deadwood, particularly at high latitudes. These fungi degrade wood by generating small reactive oxygen species (ROS) to loosen lignocellulose, to then selectively remove carbohydrates. The ROS

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Trichoderma reesei is one of the best-known cellulolytic organisms, producing large quantities of a complete set of extracellular cellulases and hemicellulases for the degradation of lignocellulosic substances. Hence, T.

Deletion of pH Regulator pac-3 Affects Cellulase and Xylanase Activity during Sugarcane Bagasse Degradation by Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Microorganisms play a vital role in bioethanol production whose usage as fuel energy is increasing worldwide. The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa synthesize and secrete the major enzymes involved in plant cell wall deconstruction.

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 ...

Fusarium graminearum as a producer of xylanases with low cellulases when grown on wheat bran
Biotechnology Reports, 2022 The xylanolytic potential of endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of Theobroma cacao was explored for the first time. Four fungal strains showed significant amounts of xylanase activity and low cellulase levels when grown on wheat bran as the sole ...

Extracellular enzymes of Fusarium graminearum isolates
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010 Fusarium graminearum isolates from three different agroecological regions in Argentina were examined according to the production of different extracellular enzyme activities of potential biotechnological interest: pectinases (PGase: polygalacturonase and

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.

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 ...
