Efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass requires concerted development of a
pretreatment method, an enzyme cocktail and an enzymatic process, all of which are …

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

Significant progress over the past few years has been achieved in the enzymology of
microbial degradation and saccharification of plant xylan, after cellulose being the most …

The enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant plant biomass is one of the key industrial
challenges of the 21st century. Accordingly, there is a continuing drive to discover new …

Plants represent a vast, renewable resource and are well suited to provide sustainably for
humankind's transportation fuel needs. To produce infrastructure-compatible fuels from …

Lactic acid is an industrially important product with a large and rapidly expanding market
due to its attractive and valuable multi-function properties. The economics of lactic acid …

The discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has revolutionized

Even though the search for alternative fuels from lignocellulosic biomass started a few
decades ago, still it is relatively immature mainly because of few challenges which are yet to …

Typically, the enzymatic hydrolysis rate of lignocellulosic biomass is fast initially but then
slows down more rapidly than can be explained by just consumption of substrate. Although …
