Cellulases are a complex group of enzymes which are secreted by a broad range of
microorganisms including fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes. In the natural environment …

The development of advanced biofuels from waste organic matter, such as lignocellulosic
biomass, is critical for global sustainable waste management and to delay climate change …

The feasibility of producing biofuels and biochemicals from lignocellulosic biomass via the
biochemical platform depends largely on advances in pretreatment and hydrolysis …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes physicochemical and biological treatments for
enzymatic or microbial conversion of LignocelIulosic Biomass. Microbial utilization of the …

Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant renewable carbon sources, representing an
alternative to petroleum for the production of fuel and chemicals. Nonetheless, the …

Background The search for new enzymes and microbial strains to degrade plant biomass is
one of the most important strategies for improving the conversion processes in the …

In nature, cellulose, lignocellulose and lignin are major sources of plant biomass; therefore,
their recycling is indispensable for the carbon cycle. Each polymer is degraded by a variety …

The biorefinery manufacturing process for producing chemicals and liquid fuels from
biomass is a promising approach for securing energy and resources. To establish cost …

Microbial degradation of organic compounds is an environmentally benign and energy
efficient part in product processing. Fermentation of plant leaves involves enzymatic actions …

An exploration of the ligninolytic potential of lignocellulolytic microbial consortia can improve
our understanding of the eco-enzymology of lignin conversion in nature. In this study, we …
