Holistic Assessment of Rumen Microbiome Dynamics through Quantitative Metatranscriptomics Reveals Multifunctional Redundancy during Key Steps of Anaerobic Feed Degradation

mSystems, 2018
Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates anaerobic plant biomass degradation in the cow rumen, leading to methane ...

Endophytic Actinomycetes as Potential Producers of Hemicellulases and Related Enzymes for Plant Biomass Degradation

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology
Tailor made enzymatic preparation must be design to hydrolyze efficiently plant biomass, once that each plant biomass possesses a distinct cell wall composition. Most of actinomycetes used for plant cell wall degradation are focused on the cellulases and

Powerful cell wall biomass degradation enzymatic system from saprotrophic Aspergillus fumigatus

The Cell Surface
Cell wall biomass, Earth’s most abundant natural resource, holds significant potential for sustainable biofuel production. Composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and other polymers, the plant cell wall provides essential structural support

Visible light-exposed lignin facilitates cellulose solubilization by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Nature Communications, 2023
Degradation of plant biomass, comprised of cellulose and polyaromatic lignin, is promoted by light. Here, the authors show that light promotes lignin-catalyzed generation of hydrogen peroxide, which is used by redox enzymes to degrade cellulose.

Deletion of AA9 Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases Impacts A. nidulans Secretome and Growth on Lignocellulose

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are oxidative enzymes found in viruses, archaea, and bacteria as well as eukaryotes, such as fungi, algae and insects, actively contributing to the degradation of different polysaccharides.

Root exudate glycine synergistically promotes phytoremediation of petroleum-contaminated soil

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The exploitation of petroleum, the production and use of petroleum products causes pollution that is harmful to the ecology and environment. At present, petroleum hydrocarbon pollution has become a universal concern in the world.

Assessing the potential of different biochars to support Miscanthus × giganteus phytoremediation in petroleum hydrocarbons-contaminated soil

Industrial Crops and Products
Soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) poses a persistent environmental challenge. This study evaluated the phytoremediation of Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g) in PHs-contaminated soil (0, 10, and 20 g kg−1) using a semi-controlled pot ...

Fuel characterization and thermal degradation kinetics of biomass from phytoremediation plants

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2020
Abstract Biomass obtained from phytoremediation energy crops Miscanthus x giganteus and Sida hermaphrodita planted on different soils contaminated with heavy metals was thermogravimetrically studied and kinetically analyzed, assuming a three-pseudocomponent model.

Genome Sequence of Amycolatopsis sp. Strain ATCC 39116, a Plant Biomass-Degrading Actinomycete [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2012
ABSTRACT We announce the availability of a high-quality draft of the genome sequence of Amycolatopsis sp. strain 39116, one of few bacterial species that are known to consume the lignin component of plant biomass. This genome sequence will further ongoing efforts to use microorganisms for the conversion of
