The genome of the coprophilic ascomycete Podospora anserina encodes 33 different genes
encoding copper-dependent lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) from glycoside …

Fungal cell-wall-degrading enzymes have great utility in the agricultural and food industries.
These cell-wall-degrading enzymes are known to have functions that can help defend …

Brown macroalgae are renewable and sustainable biomass resources for the production of
biofuels and chemicals, owing to their high levels of carbohydrates and low levels of lignin …

The degradation of plant biomass is a major challenge towards the production of bio-based
compounds and materials. As key lignocellulolytic enzyme producers, filamentous fungi …

For the past 60 years Caulobacter spp. have been commonly attributed an aquatic and
oligotrophic lifestyle yet are not uncommon in nutrient-rich or soil environments. This study …

The microbial deconstruction of the plant cell wall is a key biological process that is of
increasing importance with the development of a sustainable biofuel industry. The glycoside …

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of β-glucanase on the
modulation of jejunal mucosa-associated microbiota in relation to nutrient digestibility and …

Wood-degrading fungi use a sequence of oxidative and hydrolytic mechanisms to loosen
lignocellulose and then release and metabolize embedded sugars. These temporal …

Background A critical aspect of plant infection by the majority of pathogens is penetration of
the plant cell wall. This process requires the production and secretion of a broad spectrum of …

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) causes vascular wilt disease in tomato. Upon
colonization of the host, Fol secretes many small effector proteins into the xylem sap to …
