This review focuses on cellulases from Penicillium species with emphasis on cellulose
biodegradation; the most laborious step in the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic …

The current high cost of lignocellulolytic enzymes is a major bottleneck in the economic
bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. Fungal lignocellulolytic …

Filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum produces diverse lignocellulolytic enzymes, which
are regulated by the combinations of many transcription factors. Here, a single-gene …

Many Penicillium species could produce extracellular enzyme systems with good
lignocellulose hydrolysis performance. However, these species and their enzyme systems …

Background In cellulolytic fungi, induction and repression mechanisms synchronously
regulate the synthesis of cellulolytic enzymes for accurate responses to carbon sources in …

Filamentous fungi are considered as the most efficient producers expressing lignocellulose-
degrading enzymes. Penicillium oxalicum strains possess extraordinary fungal …

Enzymes that degrade lignocellulose to simple sugars are of great interest in research and
for biotechnology because of their role in converting plant biomass to fuels and chemicals …

Background Lignocellulose is the most abundant and renewable biomass resource on the
planet. Lignocellulose can be converted into biofuels and high-value compounds; however …

Background Agricultural residue is more efficient than purified cellulose at inducing
lignocellulolytic enzyme production in Penicillium oxalicum GZ-2, but in Trichoderma reesei …

Cellodextrin transporters (cellodextrin permeases) have been identified in fungi in recent
years. However, the functions of these transporters in cellulose utilization and cellulase …
