Unraveling the roles of the reductant and free copper ions in LPMO kinetics [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021 Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are monocopper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of industrially relevant crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose, in a reaction that depends on an electron donor and O2 or H2O2.

Comparison of Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation With LPMO-Supported Hybrid Hydrolysis and Fermentation [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyEnzymatic saccharification is used to convert polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass to sugars which are then converted to ethanol or other bio-based fermentation products. The efficacy of commercial cellulase preparations can potentially increase if

Genome-wide characterization of LPMOs and CAZymes in camel rumen-derived Paenibacillus barengoltzii highlights strong lignocellulolytic potential [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Camels exhibit remarkable adaptability to harsh environments, in part due to their unique ruminal microbiota. Paenibacillus barengoltzii, isolated from camel rumen, plays a crucial role in rumen fermentation and plant biomass degradation.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 IntroductionMost current methods for analysing the activity of LPMO are based on the quantification of H2O2, a side product of LPMO; however, these methods cannot assay the LPMO activity of thermophilic fungi because of the low thermostability of H2O2 ...
