Second-generation bioethanol is a sustainable energy source that can be produced from
different renewable materials. However, there is a challenge we must overcome to …

High value-added materials are usually made from low-value materials or wastes.
Producing these materials as by-products along with the main products of any industry or …

Fungi are ubiquitous components of microbial assemblages in aquatic ecosystems, but their
quantitative relevance, ecological role and diversity in benthic deep-sea ecosystems are still …

Microbial communities interplay with their environment through their functional traits that can
be a response or an effect on the environment. Here, we explore how a functional trait—the …

Background Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the
understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The …

The use of yeasts in bioprocesses can be considered one of the most relevant strategies in
industrial biotechnology, and their potential is recognized due to the ability of these …

Penicillium echinulatum 2HH is an ascomycete well known for its production of cellulolytic
enzymes. Understanding lignocellulolytic and sugar uptake systems is essential to obtain …

Fungi are a ubiquitous component of marine systems, but their quantitative relevance,
biodiversity and ecological role in benthic deep-sea ecosystems remain largely unexplored …

The auxiliary activity family 9 (AA9) copper-dependent lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(LPMO) from Trichoderma reesei (EG4; TrCel61A) was investigated for its ability to oxidize …

Ionic liquids (ILs)-assisted microbes and enzymes are potential approaches for converting
lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars in a biorefinery. In the present study, an ILs …
