Background The main representatives of hemicellulose are xylans, usually decorated β-1, 4-
linked d-xylose polymers, which are hydrolyzed by xylanases. The efficient utilization and …

Xylanases of the GH30 family are grouped to subfamilies GH30-7 and GH30-8. The GH30-8
members are of bacterial origin and well characterized, while the GH30-7 members are from …

Abstract Xylanase (EC 3.2. 1.8) is one of the most important enzymes for the biodegradation
of xylan. Since many industrial processes utilizing xylanase are operated at elevated …

Background Cellulose and hemicellulose are the two largest components in lignocellulosic
biomass. Enzymes with activities towards cellulose and xylan have attracted great interest in …

Xylanases are mostly classified as belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 and 11,
which differ in catalytic properties and structures. However, within one family, differences …

Xylanases are key enzymes for agricultural biomass saccharification for the production of
cellulosic ethanol. Success in enzymatic lignocellulose bioconversion is restricted by …

Background Xylanase-containing enzyme cocktails are used on an industrial scale to
convert xylan into value-added products, as they hydrolyse the β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages …

Penicillium purpurogenum grows on a variety of natural carbon sources and secretes to the
medium a large number of enzymes that degrade the polysaccharides present in …

A GH10 xylanase Srxyn10 from Streptomyce rochei L10904, and its truncated derivative,
Srxyn10M, were investigated. Both displayed great salt-tolerant ability, retaining more than …

The early-lineage, aerobic, zoosporic fungi from the Chytridiomycota constitute less than 1%
of the described fungi and can use diverse sources of nutrition from plant or animal products …
