Lignocellulosic biomass, including wood fibre, is an abundant resource for biorefining;
however, the structural heterogeneity and occurrence of inhibitors present challenges to …

Strategic enrichment of microcosms derived from wood foragers can facilitate the discovery
of key microbes that produce enzymes for the bioconversion of plant fiber (ie, lignocellulose) …

The lignocellulose-rich plant biomass is a readily available renewable resource having
immense potential to be utilized as a sustainable alternative to ever-limiting fossil fuels. It …

Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, collectively known as
lignocellulose. Microorganisms degrade these components to liberate sugars to meet …

To identify carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that might be particularly relevant for
wood fiber processing, we performed a comparative metagenomic analysis of digestive …

Metagenomes of lignocellulose-degrading microbial communities are reservoirs of
carbohydrate-active enzymes relevant to biomass processing. Whereas several …

The presence of diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) is crucial for the direct
bioconversion of lignocellulose. In this study, various anaerobic microbial consortia were …

The microbial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production represents a
renewable alternative to fossil fuels. However, the discovery of new microbial enzymes with …

The quest for microbial cellulases has intensified as a response to global challenges in
biofuel production. The efficient deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass holds promise for …

Producing cellulosic biofuels from plant material has recently emerged as a key US
