Plant biomass degradation by fungi has implications for several fields of science. The
enzyme systems employed by fungi for this are broadly used in various industrial sectors …

Filamentous fungi, as the main producers of lignocellulolytic enzymes in industry, need to be
engineered to improve the economy of large-scale lignocellulose conversion. Investigation …

Fungi can decompose plant biomass into small oligo-and monosaccharides to be used as
carbon sources. Some of these small molecules may induce metabolic pathways and the …

Fungal laccases are multicopper oxidases with high catalytic versatility and low catalytic
requirements (only O2 of the air is required for activation). Their high redox potential …

The polysaccharides in the primary plant cell wall are a renewable energy source for biofuel
production. However, these polysaccharides are not readily available for bioconversion, and …

Cellulosic biomass, the most remarkable renewable source of fuels and other compounds of
potential importance, needs highly complex mixture of various enzymes for its degradation …

Background: Oxalic acid is a common metabolite of wood-degrading basidiomycete fungi,
and it has been proposed to possess several important roles in fungal physiology, including …

Basidiomycete white rot fungi are wood-rotting species and their impact to the global carbon
cycle is significant. White rot fungi are capable of degrading all the polymeric cell wall …

Lignin is the second-most abundant biopolymer on Earth and has significant potential as a
renewable source for commodity chemicals yet remains vastly underutilized. The lack of an …
