Their ability to degrade lignocellulose gives termites an important place in the carbon cycle.
This ability relies on their partnership with a diverse community of bacterial, archaeal and …

Lignocellulose—the dry matter of plants, or “plant biomass”—digestion is of increasing
interest in organismal metabolism research, specifically the conversion of biomass into …

Depolymerizing lignin, the complex phenolic polymer fortifying plant cell walls, is an
essential but challenging starting point for the lignocellulosics industries. The variety of ether …

The hunt for renewable and alternative fuels has driven research towards the biological
conversion of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) into biofuels, including bioethanol and …

The increasing water contamination by toxic heavy metals, particularly hexavalent
chromium, has become a significant environmental concern. This study explores the …

Efficient conversion of renewable biomass into value-added chemicals and biofuels is
regarded as an alternative route to reduce our high dependence on fossil resources and the …

The aim of this study was to explore the synergies of laccase, a ligninolytic enzyme, with
cellulose and hemicellulase amendments on ensiled corn stover. Molecular signals of lignin …

Plant cell walls represent the most abundant pool of organic carbon in terrestrial ecosystems
but are highly recalcitrant to utilization by microbes and herbivores owing to the physical and …

Background The emerging cellulosic bioethanol industry will generate huge amounts of
lignin-rich residues that may be converted into biogas by anaerobic digestion (AD) to …

Termites have many unique evolutionary adaptations associated with their eusocial
lifestyles. Recent omics research has created a wealth of new information in numerous …
