The conversion of lignocellulosic polymers into monomeric sugars demands a plethora of
enzymatic activities generally not produced by a single microorganism and induced by the …

Background The lignocellulosic enzymes of Trichoderma species have received particular
attention with regard to biomass conversion to biofuels, but the production cost of these …

To improve the enzymatic hydrolysis (saccharification) of lignocellulosic biomass by
Trichoderma reesei, a set of genes encoding putative polysaccharide-degrading enzymes …

For the purpose of a industrial process of cellulosic ethanol production, an efficient β-
glucosidase was evolved by L-Shuffling starting from three parental genes (ie., Chaetomium …

Background Our dependence on fossil fuel sources and concern about the environment has
generated a worldwide interest in establishing new sources of fuel and energy. Thus, the …

Supplementation of cellulase cocktails with accessory enzymes can contribute to a higher
hydrolytic capacity in releasing fermentable sugars from plant biomass. This study …

Background The path for the development of hypersecreting strains of Trichoderma reesei
capable of producing industrially relevant enzyme titers remains elusive despite over 70 …

Fermentable sugars are important intermediate products in the conversion of lignocellulosic
biomass to biofuels and other value-added bio-products. The main bottlenecks limiting the …

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is extensively used in industry for the
bioconversion of lignocellulose into simple sugars because it secretes high quantities of a …

Trichoderma erinaceum is a filamentous fungus that was isolated from decaying sugarcane
straw at a Brazilian ethanol biorefinery. This fungus shows potential as a source of plant cell …
