Bioconversion of wood into bioproducts and biofuels is hindered by the recalcitrance of woody raw material to bioprocesses such as enzymatic saccharification. Targeted modification of the chemical composition of the feedstock can improve saccharification but this gain is often abr...
The phytopathogenic fungus Chrysoporthe cubensis is a relevant source of lignocellulolytic enzymes. This work aimed to compare the profile of lignocellulose- degrading proteins secreted by C. cubensis grown under semi-solid state fermentation using wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse. The proteins from...
Pleurotus species include edible mushrooms that can grow on a broad range of lignocellulosic substrates by secreting a coordinated system of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes. This flexibility offers opportunities to valorize agro-industrial residues for production of food and biomaterials using sust...
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB), one of the most abundant plant feedstocks is at the leading front of the biofuel industry based on the potential to promote economic, social and environmental development worldwide through sustainable set-ups related to energy production. This complex biomass requires a vast...
