Lignocellulose Degradation by Termites

2018
Host and symbiont enzymes are involved in lignocellulose processing by termites. A brief description of the structure of the main components of the plant cell wall and the most relevant degrading enzymes is presented. This chapter focuses on the dual cellulolytic system in lower and higher termites and provides an update on the current research ...

Ligninase in Degradation of Lignocellulosic Wastes

2020
Agro-industrial waste industries are the largest polluting industries in the world with the potential application of biofuels or biosources. From the past several years, the worldwide economic and environmental pollution issues have been escalating research interest in the value of biosourced lignocellulosic biomass.

Lignocellulose Degrading Bacteria in Soil

2023
The degradation of wood is a highly complex process involving the activities of several different microbes. It has been explored through research that microorganisms have developed various strategies (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) to utilize wood. In the present article, we are presenting the enzymes that originated from fungi and bacteria and their ...

Lignocellulose degradation in mushroom composts

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1984
The edible mushroomAgaricus bisporus is grown commercially on composted manure/straw mixtures. However, this proven composting procedure is wasteful of raw materials. A nonmanure compost was developed (Smith, 1980) with two main aims:

Immunological characterization of lignocellulose degradation

Biomass, 1988
Abstract Polyclonal antibodies produced to the brown-rot fungus Poria placenta have been used with fluorescence microscopy to detect fungal hyphae colonizing wood. In addition, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been used to detect and quantify the extent of fungal decay in wood.

[Microbial degradation of lignocellulose].

Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2019
Lignocellulose is widely found in the nature. The highly efficient degradation of lignocellulose requires synergistic interactions of varieties of microorganisms. The mechanism of synergistic interaction relationship is not entirely clear because it needs multitudinous microorganisms to participate in the process of lignocellulose degradation. With the

Characterization of a microbial consortium capable of degrading lignocellulose

Bioresource Technology, 2011
A microbial consortium, designated WCS-6, was established by successive subcultivation in the presence of rice straw under static conditions. The degradation efficiencies of WSC-6 for 0.5 g filter paper, cotton and rice straw after 3 days of cultivation were 99.0±0.7%, 76.9±1.5% and 81.3±0.8%, respectively as determined by gravimetrical methods.

Biotechnology in the degradation and utilization of lignocellulose

Biodegradation, 1992
Lignocellulose is the predominant renewable resource. It uses include fuel, as the feedstock for the pulp and paper industry, and for animal nutrition. It also constitutes a large proportion of agricultural and urban waste. Biotechnology has roles in its efficient production and utilisation.

On the production cost of lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, 2020
AbstractLignocellulose is the most abundant renewable material on Earth and the primary component of agricultural wastes such as sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw. It consists of a composite material made of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose and hemicellulose can be broken down into monomers by a set of appropriate enzymes, and the ...

Lignocellulose-Degrading Enzymes in Soils

2010
Biopolymers contained within or derived from plant biomass form are by far the largest pool of soil carbon. The decomposition of lignocellulose in the soil environment thus attracts considerable attention. Lignocellulose is composed mainly of the polysaccharidic polymers cellulose and hemicelluloses , and the polyphenolic polymer lignin .
