Abstract Background The filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum is a potential alternative
to Trichoderma reesei for industrial production of a complete cellulolytic enzyme system for a …

Background The transition to a more environmentally friendly economy has prompted
studies of modern biorefineries, including the utilization of low-value lignocellulose. The …

Background Lignocellulolytic enzymes are the main enzymes to saccharify lignocellulose
from renewable plant biomass in the bio-based economy. The production of these enzymes …

Genes involved in cellular processes undergo environment-dependent co-regulation, but
the co-expression patterns of fungal cellulase and xylanase-encoding genes remain …

Genetic engineering of transcription factors is an efficient strategy to improve lignocellulolytic
enzyme production in fungi. In this study, the xylanase transcriptional regulators of …

Penicillium oxalicum produces an integrated, extracellular cellulase and xylanase system,
strictly regulated by several transcription factors. However, the understanding of the …

Background In cellulolytic fungi, induction and repression mechanisms synchronously
regulate the synthesis of cellulolytic enzymes for accurate responses to carbon sources in …

Background Trichoderma reesei is a widely used model cellulolytic fungus, supplying a
highly effective cellulase production system. Recently, the biofuel industry discovered …

Cellulolytic enzyme hydrolysis of lignocellulose biomass to release fermentable sugars is
one of the key steps in biofuel refining. Gene expression of fungal cellulolytic enzymes is …

Background Agricultural residue is more efficient than purified cellulose at inducing
lignocellulolytic enzyme production in Penicillium oxalicum GZ-2, but in Trichoderma reesei …
