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.

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 ...

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.

In silico Proteomic Analysis Provides Insights Into Phylogenomics and Plant Biomass Deconstruction Potentials of the Tremelalles

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Basidiomycetes populate a wide range of ecological niches but unlike ascomycetes, their capabilities to decay plant polymers and their potential for biotechnological approaches receive less attention. Particularly, identification and isolation of CAZymes

Nutrient reallocation between stem and leaf drives grazed grassland degradation in inner Mongolia, China

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Decline in height and aboveground biomass of the plant community are critical indicators of grassland ecosystem degradation. Nutrient reallocation induced by grazing occurs among different organs, which balances the trade-off between growth ...

Functional Validation of Two Fungal Subfamilies in Carbohydrate Esterase Family 1 by Biochemical Characterization of Esterases From Uncharacterized Branches

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
The fungal members of Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) from the CAZy database include both acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) and feruloyl esterases (FAEs). AXEs and FAEs are essential auxiliary enzymes to unlock the full potential of feedstock.

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
