Cellulases are key enzymes used in many processes for producing liquid fuels from
biomass. Currently there many efforts to reduce the cost of cellulases using both structural …

A metagenomic fosmid library was constructed from compost microbial communities that
were collected from various farms throughout the Khon Kaen province, Thailand. The library …

In a halotolerant fungus Aspergillus glaucus CCHA, several functional proteins with stress-
tolerant activity have been studied, but no secretory enzymes have been identified yet. The …

Background Functional metagenomics is a promising strategy for the exploration of the
biocatalytic potential of microbiomes in order to uncover novel enzymes for industrial …

Despite extensive studies on microbial and enzymatic lignocellulose degradation, relatively
few Archaea are known to deconstruct crystalline cellulose. Here we describe a consortium …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a most promising feedstock in the production of second-
generation biofuels. Efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass requires a synergistic …

Cellulases have been used in many applications to treat various carbohydrate‐containing
materials. Thermotoga maritima cellulase 12A (TmCel12A) belongs to the GH12 family of …

Abstract A β-1, 4-endoglucanase (Cel5A) was cloned from the genomic DNA of
saccharolytic thermophilic eubacterium Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4 and …

Some ionic liquids (ILs) have been shown to be very effective solvents for biomass
pretreatment. It is known that some ILs can have a strong inhibitory effect on fungal …

Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis is a psychrophilic Gram-negative bacterium isolated in
Antarctica, that lives on organic remains of algae. This bacterium converts the cellulose …
