Cellulose is the major component of plant biomass, and microbial cellulose utilization is a
key step in the decomposition of plant detritus. Despite this, little is known about the diversity …

The straw mushroom Volvariella volvacea is cultivated on substrates rich in cellulose and
has been shown to produce a family of cellulolytic enzymes. A PCR-based strategy was …

A gene encoding a cellobiohydrolase (CBHI) was isolated from Fusicoccum sp.(BCC4124),
an endophytic fungus belongs in phylum Ascomycota, using 5′ and 3′ rapid amplification …

Lentinula edodes has traditionally been grown on fallen logs. It produces a wide array of
enzymes to digest the lignocellulolytic substrate for nutrients. Thus, this organism represents …

Two cDNAs encoding two cellulases, CelA and CelC, were isolated from a cDNA library of
the polycentric anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 constructed in Escherichia …

Cellulose accounts for approximately half of photosynthesis-fixed carbon; however, the
ecology of its degradation in soil is still relatively poorly understood. The role of …

Restriction mapping and sequence analysis of cosmid clones revealed a cluster of three
cellobiohydrolase genes in Phanerochaete chrysosporium. P. chrysosporium cbh1-1 and …

The wood decay basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium produces a variety of
cellobiohydrolases belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 6 and 7 in the presence …

Putative cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) genes are frequently discovered in various fungi
by genome sequencing projects. The expression of CDH, an extracellular flavocytochrome …

Two cellobiohydrolase-encoding genes, cbhA and cbhB, have been isolated from the
filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that CbhB …
