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 …

Hemicellulolytic microorganisms play a significant role in nature by recycling hemicellulose,
one of the main components of plant polysaccharides. Xylanases (EC 3.2. 1.8) catalyze the …

This review is written from the perspective of scientists working in lignocellulose
bioconversion in a developing country and the aim of this review is to remind ourselves and …

Hemicellulases are a diverse group of enzymes that hydrolyze hemicelluloses—one of the
most abundant groups of polysaccharide in nature. These enzymes have many …

In today's world, there is an increasing trend towards the use of renewable, cheap and
readily available biomass in the production of a wide variety of fine and bulk chemicals in …

Lignocellulosic materials containing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the most
abundant renewable organic resource on earth. The utilization of renewable resources for …

The non-cellulolytic Thermomyces lanuginosus is a widespread and frequently isolated
thermophilic fungus. Several strains of this fungus have been reported to produce high …

Pulp and paper manufacturing units effectuate large amounts of waste water, causing water
pollution. As the generated waste water consists perilous organo-chlorine compounds …

The impact of xylan and glucomannan hydrolysis on cellulose hydrolysis was studied on five
pretreated softwood substrates with different xylan and glucomannan contents, both varying …

Use of biotechnology in pulp bleaching has attracted considerable attention and achieved
interesting results in recent years. Enzymes of the hemicellulolytic type, particularly xylan …
