The plant cell wall is a highly organized network of lignocellulose, made up of cellulose and
cross-linked glycans embedded in a gel matrix of pectic substances and reinforced with …

Hemicellulolytic microorganisms play a significant role in nature by recycling hemicellulose,
one of the main components of plant polysaccharides. Xylanases (EC 3.2. 1.8) catalyze the …

Microbial xylanases have gathered great attention due to their biotechnological potential at
industrial scale for many processes. A variety of lignocellulosic materials, such as sugarcane …

Xylanase being a hydrolytic enzyme catalyses the hydrolytic breakdown of 1, 4-β-D-xylosidic
linkages in xylan which is an important constituent of hemicellulose. Xylanases are …

Xylanases are a group of depolymerizing enzymes often used for the hydrolysis of xylan
(present in hemicellulose) to monomeric sugars and comprise endo-xylanases (EC 3.2. 1.8) …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a valuable raw material. As technology has evolved, industrial
interest in new ways to take advantage of this raw material has grown. Biomass is treated …
