Enzymatic degradation of plant polysaccharides has many industrial applications, such as
within the paper, food, and feed industry and for sustainable production of fuels and …

Xylan is the principal type of hemicellulose. It is a linear polymer of β-D-xylopyranosyl units
linked by (1–4) glycosidic bonds. In nature, the polysaccharide backbone may be added to 4 …

Degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides is of major importance in the food and feed,
beverage, textile, and paper and pulp industries, as well as in several other industrial …

Research on regulation of cellulases and hemicellulases gene expression may be very
useful for increasing the production of these enzymes in their native producers. Mechanisms …

The expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in xylan degradation and two
endoglucanases involved in cellulose degradation was studied at the mRNA level in the …

The increasing use of non-renewable resources and its continuous depletion has become a
major concern nowadays. The production of renewable fuels from agricultural lignocellulose …

Complementation by transformation of an Aspergillus niger mutant lacking xylanolytic
activity led to the isolation of the xlnR gene. The xlnR gene encodes a polypeptide of 875 …

The filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger and Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei) have
been the subject of many studies investigating the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important platform organism for synthesis of chemicals and
fuels. However, the promoters used in most pathway engineering studies in S. cerevisiae …

Synergy in the degradation of two plant cell wall polysaccharides, water insoluble pentosan
from wheat flour (an arabinoxylan) and sugar beet pectin, was studied using several main …
