Ionic liquids (ILs)-resistant cellulase enzymes can facilitate the saccharification of IL-
pretreated biomass in a one-pot wash-free method. Using a bioinformatics approach, two …

Paenibacillus polymyxa is categorized as an endospore-forming bacterium and Gram-
positive bacteria, which have innate beneficial properties in modern biotechnology …

Recent studies have highlighted that dead fungal mycelium represents an important fraction
of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs and stocks. Consequently, identifying the microbial …

Bacteria of the genus Bacillus and related genera (eg, Paenibacillus, Alicyclobacillus or
Brevibacillus) belong to the phylum Firmicutes. Taxonomically, it is a diverse group of …

The negative impact of burning fossil fuels on the global climate, uncertainty over the long-
term price of fossil fuels—caused in part by geopolitics and pending decisions on the …

Around 70 million metric tonnes of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) are produced each year
and are eventually discarded as wholesale garbage. Microorganisms decompose this FVW …

This study focuses on the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into value-added
compounds. Bacillus sp. PM06 can saccharify and ferment all three types of lignocellulosic …

Bacteria within the Paenibacillus genus are known to secrete a diverse array of enzymes
capable of breaking down plant cell wall polysaccharides. We studied the extracellular …
