By combining cellulase production, cellulose hydrolysis, and sugar fermentation into a
single step, consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) represents a promising technology for biofuel …

In this paper, we report the surface assembly of a functional minicellulosome by using a
synthetic yeast consortium. The basic design of the consortium consisted of four different …

Several yeast strains have been engineered to express different cellulases to achieve
simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of lignocellulosic materials. However …

We demonstrated the functional display of a miniscaffoldin on the Saccharomyces
cerevisiae cell surface consisting of three divergent cohesin domains from Clostridium …

Yeast to directly convert cellulose and, especially, the microcrystalline cellulose into
bioethanol, was engineered through display of minicellulosomes on the cell surface of …

Background Cellulosic biomass is considered as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, but
its recalcitrant nature and high cost of cellulase are the major obstacles to utilize this …

Background The recalcitrant nature of cellulosic materials and the high cost of enzymes
required for efficient hydrolysis are the major impeding steps to their practical usage for …

Background The self-assembly of cellulosomes on the surface of yeast is a promising
strategy for consolidated bioprocessing to convert cellulose into ethanol in one step. Results …

Arabinoxylan is a heteropolymeric chain of a β-1, 4-linked xylose backbone substituted with
arabinose residues, representing a principal component of plant cell walls. Here we …

Cellulosomes, which are multienzyme complexes from anaerobic bacteria, are considered
nature's finest cellulolytic machinery. Thus, constructing a cellulosome in an industrial yeast …
