Cellulosomes are multienzyme complexes that are produced by anaerobic cellulolytic
bacteria for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. They comprise a complex of …

This review focuses on some important and challenging aspects of soil extracellular enzyme
research. We report on recent discoveries, identify key research needs and highlight the …

Thermophilic microorganisms are attractive candidates for conversion of lignocellulose to
biofuels because they produce robust, effective, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and …

Mammals rely entirely on symbiotic microorganisms within their digestive tract to gain
energy from plant biomass that is resistant to mammalian digestive enzymes. Especially in …

Clostridium thermocellum is the most efficient microorganism for solubilizing lignocellulosic
biomass known to date. Its high cellulose digestion capability is attributed to efficient …

ABSTRACT A metabolic isotope-labeling strategy was used in conjunction with nano-liquid
chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry peptide sequencing to assess …

This paper aimed to summarize published responses to treatment of cattle diets with
exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE), to discuss reasons for variable EFE efficacy in animal …

The native state of serpins represents a long-lived intermediate or metastable structure on
the serpin folding pathway. Upon interaction with a protease, the serpin trap is sprung and …

Herbivores retain within their gastrointestinal tract a microbiome that specializes in the rapid
hydrolysis and fermentation of lignocellulosic plant biomass. With the emergence of high …

Control of proteolysis is important for plant growth, development, responses to stress, and
defence against insects and pathogens. Members of the serpin protein family are likely to …
