More than 70 years ago, the filamentous ascomycete Trichoderma reesei was isolated on
the Solomon Islands due to its ability to degrade and thrive on cellulose containing fabrics …

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 …

Background The growing importance of the ubiquitous fungal genus Trichoderma
(Hypocreales, Ascomycota) requires understanding of its biology and evolution. Many …

Fungi play a major role in the global carbon cycle because of their ability to utilize plant
biomass (polysaccharides, proteins, and lignin) as carbon source. Due to the complexity and …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Lignocellulosic biomass is uniquely suited as a sustainable feedstock for the
biotechnological production of alternative fuels and chemicals. However, due to the biomass …

The production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30 under solid-state fermentation
(SSF) on wheat bran and cellulose was optimized employing a two stage statistical design of …

Biorefineries, designed for the production of lignocellulose-based chemicals and fuels, are
receiving increasing attention from the public, governments, and industries. A major obstacle …

The ascomycete Trichoderma reesei is one of the most well studied cellulolytic
microorganisms. This fungus is widely used in the biotechnology industry, mainly in the …

Abstract Background The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is a major producer of
lignocellulolytic enzymes utilized by bioethanol industries. However, to achieve low cost …
