Transcriptome response of the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor to hybrid poplar exhibiting unique lignin chemistry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic material is limited due to the complexity of the cell wall structure. This necessitates the use of physical, chemical, and/or physico-chemical pretreatment technologies, which adds significant capital, operational, and environmental costs. Biological pretreatment strategies have the potential to mitigate these expenses by harnessing the innate ability of specialized bacteria and fungi to deconstruct lignocellulose. White-rot fungi (e.g. Trametes versicolor) have been shown to be effective at biological pretreatment of lignocellulose, yet it was uncertain if these fungi are feedstock agnostic or are able to sense subtle changes in cell wall chemistry.
