Recent Advances in Selection and Engineering of Biomass Degrading Enzymes
Plant biomass represents a renewable and practically inexhaustible bio resource for production of fuels and chemicals, and in the coming years it is considered to play the same role in human civilization as oil in 20th and beginning of the 21st century. For the last three decades, the production of first-generation liquid biofuels (mainly, ethanol from food crops in the USA and that from sugarc...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of hydrogen peroxide degrading enzymes
For efficient removal of intra- and/or extracellular hydrogen peroxide by dismutation to harmless dioxygen and water (2H(2)O(2) → O(2) + 2H(2)O), nature designed three metalloenzyme families that differ in oligomeric organization, monomer architecture as well as active site geometry and catalytic residues. Here we report on the updated reconstruction of the molecular phylogeny of these three ge...
متن کاملLignin-degrading enzymes
The substantial potential applications of lignin-degrading microbes and enzymes have spurred research on lignin biodegradation in recent years. As described here, that research has led to the discovery in the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium of the first lignin-degrading enzymes and elucidation of their mode of action. A family of powerful extracellular peroxidase isoenzymes has been t...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of Biomass-degrading Enzymes in the Filamentous Fungus Trichoderma reesei*□S
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei produces and secretes profuse quantities of enzymes that act synergistically to degrade cellulase and related biomass components. We partially sequenced over 5100 random T. reesei cDNA clones. Among the sequences whose predicted gene products had significant similarity to known proteins, 12 were identified that encode previously unknown enzymes that lik...
متن کاملExpression of biomass-degrading enzymes is a major event during conidium development in Trichoderma reesei.
The conidium plays a critical role in the life cycle of many filamentous fungi, being the primary means for survival under unfavorable conditions. To investigate the transcriptional changes taking place during the transition from growing hyphae to conidia in Trichoderma reesei, microarray experiments were performed. A total of 900 distinct genes were classified as differentially expressed, rela...
