Lignin modifying or extracellular enzymes secreted by the white rot fungi have the ability of
degrading wide range of lignocellulosic substrates and organic pollutants. Lignocellulosic …

The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic biomass leads to a protective barrier which prevents
enzymes from being accessible to cellulose and hemicellulose for hydrolysis. As a result …

Sheer enormity of lignocellulosics makes them potential feedstock for biofuel production but,
their conversion into fermentable sugars is a major hurdle. They have to be pretreated …
