Lignocellulosic biomass is a geographically abundant source of renewable energy, showing
enormous potential to contribute to escalating energy demands. Improving the industrial …

Enzymes have great potential in bioprocess engineering due to their green and mild
reaction conditions. However, there are challenges to their application, such as enzyme …

Xylan is the most abundant hemicellulose in nature and as such it is a huge source of
renewable carbon. Its bioconversion requires a battery of xylanolytic enzymes. Of them the …

Cellulosic biorefinery is a promising route towards zero-waste environment and sustainable
future via the utilization of industrially significant protein ie,“cellulases”. Despite the …

Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the
hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has …

With the ultimate goal of identifying robust cellulases for industrial biocatalytic conversions,
we have isolated and characterized a new thermostable and very halotolerant GH5 …

Metagenomics deals with the isolation of genetic material directly recovered from
environmental samples. Metagenomics as an approach has emerged over the past two …

As the fossil fuel reserves are depleting rapidly, there is a need for alternate fuels to meet the
day to day mounting energy demands. As fossil fuel started depleting, a quest for alternate …
