Cellulosomes are multienzyme complexes that are produced by anaerobic cellulolytic
bacteria for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. They comprise a complex of …

With regard to social and environmental sustainability, second-generation biofuel and
biogas production from lignocellulosic material provides considerable potential, since …

Lignocellulose is a complex substrate which requires a variety of enzymes, acting in
synergy, for its complete hydrolysis. These synergistic interactions between different …

Lignin represents an untapped resource in lignocellulosic biomass, primarily due to its
recalcitrance to depolymerization and its intrinsic heterogeneity. In Nature, microorganisms …

A great fraction of the world's energy requirements are presently met through the unfettered
use of fossil-derived fuels. However, due to the anticipated demise of these energy sources …

The moderate stability of enzymes is one of the main drawbacks that hinder general
implementation of these interesting biocatalysts at industrial scale. An especially complex …

Mutant strains of Trichoderma reesei are considered indisputable champions in cellulase
production among biomass-degrading fungi. So, it is not surprising that most R&D projects …

The phylum Fibrobacteres currently comprises one formal genus, Fibrobacter, and two
cultured species, Fibrobacter succinogenes and Fibrobacter intestinalis, that are recognised …

Heavy metals affect the biochemical reactions that take place during anaerobic digestion
processes of organic matter. In this review, the different effects observed in anaerobic …

Lignocellulosic biomass has been considered as an important and sustainable source of
renewable energy. Cellulose constitutes the major component of the lignocellulosic biomass …
