Biomass-degrading glycoside hydrolases of archaeal origin.

ABSTRACT: During the last decades, the impact of hyperthermophiles and their enzymes has been intensively investigated for implementation in various high-temperature biotechnological processes. Biocatalysts of hyperthermophiles have proven to show extremely high thermo-activities and thermo-stabilities and are identified as suitable candidates for numerous industrial processes with harsh conditions, including the process of an efficient plant biomass pretreatment and conversion. Already-characterized archaea-originated glycoside hydrolases (GHs) have shown highly impressive features and numerous enzyme characterizations indicated that these biocatalysts show maximum activities at a higher temperature range compared to bacterial ones. However, compared to bacterial biomass-degrading enzymes, the numb
