Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass available on Earth. It has attracted
considerable attention as an alternate feed stock and energy resource because of the large …

Lignocellulosic materials containing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin as their main
constituents are the most abundant renewable organic resource present on Earth. The …

In an effort to increase ethanol productivity during the consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of
lignocellulosics by Fusarium oxysporum, we attempted the constitutive homologous …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the concept of microbial pentose utilization. An
interest in transforming vast reserves of renewable plant biomass to fuel and chemical …

Two strains of cellulose-fermenting fungi were isolated by plating soil samples on cellulose-
containing agar medium and incubating under anaerobic conditions. Both strains used …

Two aldose (xylose) reductases (ARI and ARII) from Fusarium oxysporum were purified and
characterized. The native ARI was a monomer with Mr 41000, pI 5.2 and showed a 52-fold …

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction metabolism, of the natural xylose-fermenting fungus Fusarium
oxysporum, was used as a strategy to achieve anaerobic growth and ethanol production …

Phosphoketolase is a well characterised enzyme in Bifidobacterium species. However,
limited information about this enzyme is available in higher organisms. Physiological …

Two strains of morphologically and physiologically distinct cellulose-fermenting fungi were
isolated from soil samples under anaerobic conditions. Fungal growth was enriched in a …

The present work examines the production of ethanol via direct fermentation of pure
celluloses and lignocellulosic wastes by two soil fungi isolated under anaerobic conditions …
