Differences in Cellulosic Supramolecular Structure of Compositionally Similar Rice Straw Affect Biomass Metabolism by Paddy Soil Microbiota. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Because they are strong and stable, lignocellulosic supramolecular structures in plant cell walls are resistant to decomposition. However, they can be degraded and recycled by soil microbiota.

Exploring the multi-level regulation of lignocellulases in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 from an omics perspective

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background Filamentous fungi are highly efficient at deconstructing plant biomass by secreting a variety of enzymes, but the complex enzymatic regulation underlying this process is not conserved and remains unclear.

Plant biomass degradation supported by non-enzymatic proteins

, 2017
Lignocellulosic biomass, rich in potential carbon sources and value added products, has been intensively investigated in scope of its costefficient and effective decomposition. Many methods were developed, physicochemical or biological. Nevertheless, they are either expensive, inefficient or pose threat to the environment. Recently discovered proteins,

Lignocellulosic biomass: Biosynthesis, degradation, and industrial utilization

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2016
Lignocellulose biomass derived from plant cell walls is a rich source of biopolymers, chemicals, and sugars, besides being a sustainable alternative to petrochemicals.

Metatranscriptomic discovery of plant biomass-degrading capacity from grass carp intestinal microbiomes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2015
Despite the economic importance of fish, the ecology and metabolic capacity of fish microbiomes are largely unknown. Here, we sequenced the metatranscriptome of the intestinal microbiota of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, a freshwater herbivorous fish species.

Effects of ice-wedge degradation and warming on Arctic tundra vegetation across a climatic gradient using a nitrogen-based model

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
Ice-wedge polygons in Arctic tundra landscapes influence hydrology, nutrients, thermal regimes, and vegetation. Ice-wedges are particularly vulnerable to warming events, and widespread degradation has been observed in recent decades.

Modulating Transcriptional Regulation of Plant Biomass Degrading Enzyme Networks for Rational Design of Industrial Fungal Strains

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
Filamentous fungi are the most important microorganisms for the industrial production of plant polysaccharide degrading enzymes due to their unique ability to secrete these proteins efficiently.

Multimodular fused acetyl–feruloyl esterases from soil and gut Bacteroidetes improve xylanase depolymerization of recalcitrant biomass

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background Plant biomass is an abundant and renewable carbon source that is recalcitrant towards both chemical and biochemical degradation. Xylan is the second most abundant polysaccharide in biomass after cellulose, and it possesses a variety of ...

Hydrolytic bacteria in mesophilic and thermophilic degradation of plant biomass

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2010
AbstractAdding plant biomass to a biogas reactor, hydrolysis is the first reaction step in the chain of biological events towards methane production. Maize silage was used to enrich efficient hydrolytic bacterial consortia from natural environments under conditions imitating those in a biogas plant. At 55–60°C a more efficient hydrolyzing culture could
