In the present research, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Irpex Lacteus simultaneously
degraded lignin and cellulose in ramie stalks, whereas Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus …

The development of alternative energy sources by applying lignocellulose-based biofuel
technology is critically important because of the depletion of fossil fuel resources, rising …

White-rot fungi are the main natural producers of lignin-modifying enzymes, ie. laccases and
peroxidases, whose secretion and activity allows the depolymerization of lignin and the …

Background White-rot basidiomycete fungi are potent degraders of plant biomass, with the
ability to mineralize all lignocellulose components. Recent comparative genomics studies …

Lignocellulosic biomass is an organic matrix composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and
lignin. In nature, lignin degradation by basidiomycetes is the key step in lignocellulose …

The white-rot basidiomycetes efficiently degrade all wood cell wall polymers. Generally,
these fungi simultaneously degrade cellulose and lignin, but certain organisms, such as …

Background As one of the major components of lignocellulosic biomass, lignin has been
considered as the most abundant renewable aromatic feedstock in the world. Comparing …

Background Irpex lacteus is one of the most potent white rot fungi for biological pretreatment
of lignocellulose for second biofuel production. To elucidate the underlying molecular …

Background The selective lignin-degrading white-rot fungi are regarded to be the best lignin
degraders and have been widely used for reducing the saccharification recalcitrance of …

In Nature, powerful oxidative enzymes secreted by white rot fungi and some bacteria
catalyze lignin depolymerization and some microbes are able to catabolize the resulting …
