Inference of phenotype-defining functional modules of protein families for microbial plant biomass degraders [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2014
AbstractBackgroundEfficient industrial processes for converting plant lignocellulosic materials into biofuels are a key challenge in global efforts to use alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Novel cellulolytic enzymes have been discovered from microbial genomes and metagenomes of microbial communities.

Assessing grassland degradation based on abrupt changes in living status of vegetation in a subalpine meadow

Frontiers in Plant Science
Grassland degradation impacts and restoration strategies have been extensively studied in existing literature. Nevertheless, current diagnostic approaches for assessing degradation conditions predominantly rely on either empirical or mechanistic ...

Divergent microbial communities in groundwater and overlying soils exhibit functional redundancy for plant-polysaccharide degradation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Light driven primary production by plants is the main source of biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. But also in subsurface habitats like aquifers, life is fueled largely by this plant-derived biomass.

Forward genetic screening for the improved production of fermentable sugars from plant biomass.

PLoS ONE, 2013
With their unique metabolism and the potential to produce large amounts of biomass, plants are an excellent bio-energy feedstock for a variety of industrial purposes.

Environmental Degradation of Cellulose Under Anaerobic Conditions

BioResources, 2022
Cellulose is a primary structural component of plants and is one of the most abundant polymers on the Earth. Degradation of this recalcitrant component of plant biomass is an important process in the global carbon cycle and can potentially provide ...

The influence of Calamagrostis epigejos expansion on the species composition and soil properties of mountain mesic meadows

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2016
Due to social and economic changes which have occurred in the last decades, many meadows located in mountain regions have ceased to be used. Abandonment of meadows leads to the degradation of their species composition.

Communities of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Effects on Plant Biomass Allocation Patterns in Degraded Karst Grasslands of Southwest China

Journal of Fungi
The biomass allocation patterns between aboveground and belowground are an essential functional trait for plant survival under a changing environment. The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities on plant biomass allocation, particularly
