We report on the effect of a new microbial enzymatic system, Penicillium echinulatum
cellulase, on the surface morphological (SEM), structural (XRD), and thermal (TGA/DTG) …

This study evaluated the potential use of elephant grass biomass, a highly productive
species, for cellulase and xylanase production by the cellulolytic mutant Penicillium …

Efficient cellulolytic enzyme production is important for the development of
lignocellulosedegrading enzyme mixtures. However, purification of cellulases from their …

This work investigated the ability of a recently isolated strain of Candida guilliermondii to
convert hexoses and pentoses obtained from acid-enzymatic soybean hull hydrolysates into …

The enzyme endoglucanase is responsible for the depolymerization of cellulose. This study
focuses on characterization and purification of endoglucanase from Rhizopus oryzae MTCC …

Penicillium echinulatum S1M29 is a mutant with cellulase and xylanase production
comparable to the most studied microorganisms in the literature. However, its potential to …

The effect of pH on the production of cellulases and xylanases by Penicillium echinulatum
S1M29 was evaluated in a shake flask and in a bioreactor. To control the pH in a shake …

Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is a methodology
that facilitates the quantification of mRNA expression in a given sample. Analysis of relative …

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with ionic liquids (ILs) has been extensively studied,
being regarded as one of the most promising methods for obtaining fermentable sugars. In …

Spore suspensions of Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 3484 were subjected to mutagenesis using
ultraviolet-irradiation followed by chemical treatments to improve the biosynthesis of …
