Background Plant biomass is an abundant but underused feedstock for bioenergy
production due to its complex and variable composition, which resists breakdown into …

Anaerobic gut fungi are an early branching family of fungi that are commonly found in the
digestive tract of ruminants and monogastric herbivores. It is becoming increasingly clear …

The conversion of lignocellulose‐rich biomass to bio‐based chemicals and higher order
fuels remains a grand challenge, as single‐microbe approaches often cannot drive both …

Anaerobic fungi are among the most active plant‐degrading microbes in nature. Increased
insight into the mechanisms and environmental cues that regulate fungal hydrolysis would …

The anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces strain C1A is capable of growth on various types of
lignocellulosic substrates, and harbors an impressive reservoir of carbohydrate active …

Abstract Background The ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina has been appreciated for
its targeted carbohydrate-active enzymatic arsenal. As a late colonizer of herbivorous dung …

The development of efficient methods to convert plant material (lignocellulose) to
fermentable sugars is a promising avenue towards the development of renewable biofuels …

Abstract Development of the bioeconomy is driven by our ability to access the energy‐rich
carbon trapped in recalcitrant plant materials. Current strategies to release this carbon rely …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a vast and underutilized resource for the production of sugars
and biofuels. However, the structural complexity of lignocellulosic biomass and the need for …

Abstract Background The genome of Schizophyllum commune encodes a diverse repertoire
of degradative enzymes for plant cell wall breakdown. Recent comparative genomics study …
