Background Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the
understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The …

Background Biomass-degrading enzymes with improved activity and stability can increase
substrate saccharification and make biorefineries economically feasible. Filamentous fungi …

This study reports thermophilic fungus Malbranchea cinnamomea as an important source of
lignocellulolytic enzymes. The secretome analysis using LC–MS/MS orbitrap showed that …

The microbial conversion of solid cellulosic biomass to liquid biofuels may provide a
renewable energy source for transportation fuels. Cellulolytic fungi represent a promising …

Humicola grisea var. thermoidea is a thermophilic ascomycete and important enzyme
producer that has an efficient enzymatic system with a broad spectrum of thermostable …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the Flammulina elastica (wood-rotting basidiomycete)
genome was performed to identify carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). The resulting …

Basidiomycete fungi can degrade a wide range of plant biomass, including living and dead
trees, forest litter, crops, and plant matter in soils. Understanding the process of plant …

Background Plant biomass degradation by fungal-derived enzymes is rapidly expanding in
economic importance as a clean and efficient source for biofuels. The ability to rationally …

Background Saprophytic filamentous fungi are ubiquitous micro-organisms that play an
essential role in photosynthetic carbon recycling. The wood-decayer Pycnoporus …

Whole-genome sequencing of Flammulina ononidis, a wood-rotting basidiomycete, was
performed to identify genes associated with carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). A …
