An insect herbivore microbiome with high plant biomass-degrading capacity. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2010
Herbivores can gain indirect access to recalcitrant carbon present in plant cell walls through symbiotic associations with lignocellulolytic microbes. A paradigmatic example is the leaf-cutter ant (Tribe: Attini), which uses fresh leaves to cultivate a ...

Comparative analysis of basidiomycete transcriptomes reveals a core set of expressed genes encoding plant biomass degrading enzymes

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2018
Basidiomycete fungi can degrade a wide range of plant biomass, including living and dead trees, forest litter, crops, and plant matter in soils. Understanding the process of plant biomass decay by basidiomycetes could facilitate their application in ...

Metagenomic insights into the characteristics of soil microbial communities in the decomposing biomass of Moso bamboo forests under different management practices

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionConsidering the rapid growth and high biomass productivity, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) has high carbon (C) sequestration potential, and different management practices can strongly modify its C pools.

Harnessing the CRISPR/Cas9 system to study the regulatory network of plant biomass degradation in Aspergillus niger [PDF]

, 2022
Filamentous fungi are primary degraders of plant biomass, and therefore play a pivotal role in the bio-based economy. For this, the understanding of their abilities and limits regarding plant biomass degradation is essential.

Glucuronoyl esterase facilitates biomass degradation in Neurospora crassa by upregulating the expression of plant biomass-degrading enzymes.

The Journal of general and applied microbiology, 2022
Glucuronoyl esterase (GE) is a promising agent for the delignification of plant biomass since it has been shown to cleave the linkage between xylan and lignin in vitro. In this study, we demonstrate that NcGE, a GE from Neurospora crassa, stimulates plant biomass degradation.

Ecological Insights into the Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Microbial Consortia [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2017
Plant biomass (PB) is an important resource for biofuel production. However, the frequent lack of efficiency of PB saccharification is still an industrial bottleneck. The use of enzyme cocktails produced from PB-degrading microbial consortia (PB-dmc) is a promising approach to optimize this process.

Penicillium subrubescens adapts its enzyme production to the composition of plant biomass [PDF]

, 2020
Penicillium subrubescens is able to degrade a broad range of plant biomass and it has an expanded set of Carbohydrate Active enzyme (CAZyme)-encoding genes in comparison to other Penicillium species. Here we used exoproteome and transcriptome analysis to
