Efficient Plant Biomass Degradation by Thermophilic Fungus Myceliophthora heterothallica [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Rapid and efficient enzymatic degradation of plant biomass into fermentable sugars is a major challenge for the sustainable production of biochemicals and biofuels. Enzymes that are more thermostable (up to 70°C) use shorter reaction times for the complete saccharification of plant polysaccharides compared to hydrolytic ...

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.

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.

Proteomics reveals synergy between biomass degrading enzymes and inorganic Fenton chemistry in leaf-cutting ant colonies

eLife, 2021
The symbiotic partnership between leaf-cutting ants and fungal cultivars processes plant biomass via ant fecal fluid mixed with chewed plant substrate before fungal degradation.

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.

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

An Insect Herbivore Microbiome with High Plant Biomass-Degrading Capacity

PLoS Genetics, 2010
يمكن للحيوانات العاشبة الوصول بشكل غير مباشر إلى الكربون المتمرد الموجود في جدران الخلايا النباتية من خلال الارتباطات التكافلية مع الميكروبات المحللة للخلايا. ومن الأمثلة النموذجية على ذلك نملة قطع الأوراق (القبيلة: أتيني)، التي تستخدم أوراقًا طازجة لزراعة فطر للطعام في الحدائق المتخصصة.
