The bulk terrestrial biomass resource in a future bio-economy will be lignocellulosic
biomass, which is recalcitrant and challenging to process. Enzymatic conversion of …

Lignocellulose is a complex substrate which requires a variety of enzymes, acting in
synergy, for its complete hydrolysis. These synergistic interactions between different …

Gut microbes supply the human body with energy from dietary polysaccharides through
carbohydrate active enzymes, or CAZymes, which are absent in the human genome. These …

Enzymatic degradation of plant polysaccharides has many industrial applications, such as
within the paper, food, and feed industry and for sustainable production of fuels and …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …

Lignocellulosic material has drawn significant attention among the scientific community due
to its year-round availability as a renewable resource for industrial consumption. Being an …

Abstract β-Glucosidases (3.2. 1.21) are found in all domains of living organisms, where they
play essential roles in the removal of nonreducing terminal glucosyl residues from …

Mannans are the major constituents of the hemicellulose fraction in softwoods and show
widespread distribution in plant tissues. The major mannan-degrading enzymes are β …

Abstract β-Glucosidases are diverse group of enzymes with great functional importance to
biological systems. These are grouped in multiple glycoside hydrolase families based on …

The cell walls of plants are the most abundant source of organic carbon on the planet. This
photosynthetically fixed carbon is recycled by microbial enzymes that convert cell wall …
