Lignocellulose is a complex substrate which requires a variety of enzymes, acting in
synergy, for its complete hydrolysis. These synergistic interactions between different …

▪ Abstract The discrete multicomponent, multienzyme cellulosome complex of anaerobic
cellulolytic bacteria provides enhanced synergistic activity among the different resident …

Biological conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals offers the high yields to
products vital to economic success and the potential for very low costs. Enzymatic hydrolysis …

Even though the search for alternative fuels from lignocellulosic biomass started a few
decades ago, still it is relatively immature mainly because of few challenges which are yet to …

Background We and other workers have shown that accessory enzymes, such as β-
glucosidase, xylanase, and cellulase cofactors, such as GH61, can considerably enhance …

Despite the presence of many carbohydrolytic activities in insects, their cellulolytic
mechanisms are poorly understood. Whereas cellulase genes are absent from the genomes …

Cellulose, the main structural component of plant cell walls, is the most abundant
carbohydrate polymer in nature. Although abundant, it is extremely difficult to degrade, as it …

In the present context of energy crisis, exploration of lignocellulosic biomass has emerged
as potential substitute to maintain environmental sustainability. However, the conversion of …

Comparative data is presented on glucose and xylose release for enzymatic hydrolysis of
solids produced by pretreatment of poplar wood by ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) …

With growing demand for bio-based fuels and chemicals, there has been much attention
given to the performance of different feedstocks. We have optimized the ammonia fiber …
