Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive method for sustainable
cellulosic ethanol production. Considering the complex lignin-cellulose-hemicellulose …

Cellulose is a very abundant polymer that is found in nature. Cellulose has been used as a
raw material for production of biofuels for many years. However, there are multiple …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant sustainable carbon source on the planet and
has enormous potential to substitute fossil resources on the premise of cost-effective …

Lignin, a highly heterogeneous polymer of lignocellulosic biomass, is intricately associated
with cellulose and hemicellulose, responsible for its strength and rigidity. Lignin …

The microbial decomposition and utilization of lignocellulosic biomass present in the plant
tissues are driven by a series of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) acting in concert …

Carbohydrate‐binding modules (CBMs) are non‐catalytic domains that are generally
appended to carbohydrate‐active enzymes. CBMs have a broadly conserved structure that …

Highlights•Understanding of the mechanisms of the enzymes involved has been
substantially improved.•Successful shaping of the enzymes for the industrial process has …

Capsule polysaccharide is a major virulence factor of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a nosocomial
pathogen associated with a wide range of infections. It protects bacteria from harsh …

Cellulose materials have poor wet strength and are susceptible to acidic or basic
environments. Herein, we developed a facile strategy to modify bacterial cellulose (BC) with …

Efficient enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars can enable
production of bioproducts like ethanol. Native crystalline cellulose, or cellulose I, is …
