More than 70 years ago, the filamentous ascomycete Trichoderma reesei was isolated on
the Solomon Islands due to its ability to degrade and thrive on cellulose containing fabrics …

Trichoderma species are widely used in agriculture and industry as biopesticides and
sources of enzymes, respectively. These fungi reproduce asexually by production of conidia …

Lignocellulosic biomass, which mainly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, is the
most abundant renewable source for production of biofuel and biorefinery products. The …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Trichoderma reesei has been explored intensively in the laboratory and on an industrial
