Background Energy shortage has become a global problem. Production of biofuels from
renewable biomass resources is an inevitable trend of sustainable development. Cellulose …

Abstract Cellulases hydrolyze the β-1, 4 linkages of cellulose and are widely used in food,
brewing and wine, animal feed, textiles and laundry, and pulp and paper industries …

Second generation biofuel production has been appeared as a sustainable and alternative
energy option. The ultimate aim is the development of an industrially feasible and economic …

Abstract In this study, 341, 246, and 386 positive clones with endo-β-1, 4-glucanase, β-
glucosidase, and endo-β-1, 4-xylanase activities, respectively, were identified by screening …

Metagenomes of uncultured microorganisms represent a sheer unlimited resource for
discovery of novel biocatalysts. Here, we report on the biochemical characterisation of a …

Metagenomics has revolutionized access to genomic information of microorganisms
inhabiting the gut of herbivorous animals, circumventing the need for their isolation and …

Cellulase catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-1, 4-linkages of cellulose to produce industrially
relevant monomeric subunits. Cellulases find their applications in pulp and paper, laundry …

As the fossil fuel reserves are depleting rapidly, there is a need for alternate fuels to meet the
day to day mounting energy demands. As fossil fuel started depleting, a quest for alternate …

As a long-term solution to fossil fuel depletion, deployment of renewable biofuel from plant
biomass degradation would provide significant economic benefits and energy security …

With the ultimate goal of identifying robust cellulases for industrial biocatalytic conversions,
we have isolated and characterized a new thermostable and very halotolerant GH5 …
