In recent years, lignin valorization is commercially an important and advanced sustainable
process for lignocellulosic biomass-based industries, primarily through the depolymerization …

Straw biomass is an inexpensive, sustainable, and abundant renewable feedstock for the
production of valuable chemicals and biofuels, which can surmount the main drawbacks …

Plant litter decomposition in the soil is governed by microorganisms such as bacteria and
fungi that colonize lignocellulose residues during the decomposition process, and thus, the …

Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and
hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role in this process is still unclear. Here we …

Fungi are considered the primary decomposers of dead plant biomass in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, current knowledge regarding the successive changes in fungal …

Lignocellulosic crop residues (LCCRs) hold a significant share of the terrestrial biomass,
estimated at 5 billion Mg per annum globally. A massive amount of these LCCRs are burnt in …

Abstract Higher Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes mushrooms possess various
immunological and anticancer properties. They also offer important health benefits and …

Cellulose is the main polymeric component of the plant cell wall, the most abundant
polysaccharide on Earth, and an important renewable resource. Basidiomycetous fungi …

Decomposition of soil carbon stocks is one of the largest potential biotic feedbacks to climate
change. Models of decomposition of soil organic matter and of soil respiration rely on …
