The depletion of fossil resources is driving forward the search for new and alternative
renewable feedstocks in the production of renewable chemicals, which could replace the …

White‐rot fungi, which have the ability to degrade all the wood components including lignin,
are of great interest in biotechnological processes based on wood and other lignocellulosic …

The extracellular ligninolytic enzyme system of Pleurotus laciniatocrenatus, grown under
different culture conditions, was characterized and the ability of this strain to degrade …

Various types of pretreatments are used for biomass conversion of woods. The major
objective of most pre treatments is to increase the susceptibility of cellulose and …

Background Forestry residues consisting of softwood are a major lignocellulosic resource for
production of liquid biofuels. Scots pine, a commercially important forest tree, was …

The biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a low-cost and eco-friendly method
for facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, strains with lignin depletion capability were …

Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) has been an important afforestation
species in northeast China. It has obvious defects of buckling and cracking easily, which are …

Incubation of hardwood kraft pulp (HWKP) in agitated aerated cultures of the white-rot
fungus Trametes versicolor increases pulp brightness and decreases its residual lignin …

This research examined culture parameters influencing the rate of degradation of lignin in
lignocellulosic substrates by the Basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium …
