Lignocellulosic biomass has enormous potential to contribute to worldwide energy,
chemical, and material demands in a renewable, sustainable manner. In the United States …

Cellulose is an abundant natural biopolymer on earth, found as a major constituent of plant
cell wall in lignocellulosic form. Unlike other compounds cellulose is not easily soluble in …

The oil crisis during the 1970s turned interest towards the utilization of renewable resources
and towards lignocellulosics in particular. The 1970s were also the cradle period of …

Cellulolytic microorganisms play an important role in the biosphere by recycling cellulose,
the most abundant carbohydrate produced by plants. Cellulose is a simple polymer, but it …

At least in terms of simple tonnage, glycosyl transfer must be accounted one of the most
important biochemical reactions, since around two-thirds of the carbon in the biosphere …

An efficient transformation system for the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei
has been developed. Transformation was obtained with plasmid carrying the dominant …

Plant cell wall consists mainly of the large biopolymers cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and
pectin. These biopolymers are degraded by many microorganisms, in particular filamentous …

Limited action of papain on the native forms of two cellobiohydrolases (CBH) from
Trichoderma reesei (CBH I, 65 kDa, and CBH II, 58 kDa) leads to the isolation of the …

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei produces and secretes profuse quantities of
enzymes that act synergistically to degrade cellulase and related biomass components. We …

One of natures most important biological processes is the degradation of lignocellulosic
materials to carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. This implies possibilities to use …
