Hallmarks of Basidiomycete Soft- and White-Rot in Wood-Decay -Omics Data of Two Armillaria Species

Microorganisms, 2021
Wood-decaying Basidiomycetes are among the most efficient degraders of plant cell walls, making them key players in forest ecosystems, global carbon cycle, and in bio-based industries. Recent insights from -omics data revealed a high functional diversity

Aiming for the complete utilization of sugar-beet pulp: Examination of the effects of mild acid and hydrothermal pretreatment followed by enzymatic digestion [PDF]

, 2011
Background Biomass use for the production of bioethanol or platform chemicals requires efficient breakdown of biomass to fermentable monosaccharides. Lignocellulosic feedstocks often require physicochemical pretreatment before enzymatic hydrolysis can ...

Transcriptome analysis of Aspergillus niger xlnR and xkiA mutants grown on corn Stover and soybean hulls reveals a highly complex regulatory network

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Enzymatic plant biomass degradation by fungi is a highly complex process and one of the leading challenges in developing a biobased economy. Some industrial fungi (e.g.

Investigation of growth responses in saprophytic fungi to charred biomass [PDF]

, 2010
We present the results of a study testing the response of two saprophytic white-rot fungi species, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Coriolus versicolor, to charred biomass (charcoal) as a growth substrate.

The effects of degradation on alpine grassland resilience: A study based on meta-analysis data

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provide irreplaceable ecosystem services to local and global communities. However, intensive human activities have caused severe grassland degradation during recent decades.

Effects of Land Use Changes on the Plant Community Characteristics in the Wetlands of the Semi-Arid Regions

Diversity, 2022
Human disturbance is the main driving factor of wetland vegetation degradation, and plant community changes can directly characterize the process of wetland degradation.

From lignocellulose to plastics: Knowledge transfer on the degradation approaches by fungi [PDF]

, 2021
In this review, we argue that there is much to be learned by transferring knowledge from research on lignocellulose degradation to that on plastic. Plastic waste accumulates in the environment to hazardous levels, because it is inherently recalcitrant to

Blocking utilization of major plant biomass polysaccharides leads Aspergillus niger towards utilization of minor components [PDF]

, 2021
Summary Fungi produce a wide range of enzymes that allow them to grow on diverse plant biomass. Wheat bran is a low‐cost substrate with high potential for biotechnological applications.

Enrichment and Broad Representation of Plant Biomass-Degrading Enzymes in the Specialized Hyphal Swellings of Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, the Fungal Symbiont of Leaf-Cutter Ants.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Leaf-cutter ants are prolific and conspicuous constituents of Neotropical ecosystems that derive energy from specialized fungus gardens they cultivate using prodigious amounts of foliar biomass.

Fungi use highly diverse approaches for plant biomass conversion as revealed through bioinformatic analysis [PDF]

, 2023
Plant biomass is a magnificent renewable resource and therefore is of major importance for ecology and the global carbon cycle. In nature, fungi play central roles in the degradation of plant biomass, as they are highly efficient degraders of plant ...
