This review examines the recent models describing the mode of action of various xylanolytic
enzymes and how these enzymes can be applied (sequentially or simultaneously) with their …

Xylanases are one of the important hydrolytic enzymes which hydrolyze the β-1, 4 xylosidic
linkage of the backbone of the xylan polymeric chain which consists of xylose subunits …

With advances in biotechnology, enzyme technologies have been increasingly applied to
pretreat lignocellulosic biomass before the production of pulp. There are several driving …

Cellulases play a promising role in the bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass
into fermentable sugars which are subsequently fermented to biofuels and other value …

Microbial populations living in environments with temperatures above 50° C (thermophiles)
have been widely studied, increasing our knowledge in the composition and function of …
