By revealing the intricate microbial and enzymatic processes involved in lignocellulose degradation, the study offers new strategies for improving feed efficiency and sustainability in dairy farming.

oxidizers in carbon degradation. The enzymes and Mn products produced by Mn oxidizing fungi rank among the strongest known oxidants on the planet, and play key roles in helping to break down even the ...

The degradation ... By linking the enzymes to specific metabolites found nearby, the researchers have been able to dig in to how the fungus attacks lignocellulose. They have defined metabolic ...

"Although lignocellulose ... straw degradation in a mixed microbial community when easily accessible polysaccharides have been exhausted. "We demonstrate that treatments with this enzyme can ...

In the search for enzymes that can break lignocellulose down into biofuel sugars under the extreme conditions of a refinery, he has prospected for extremophilic microbes and engineered his own ...

The Fungal Genetics and Biotechnology group studies plant biomass modifying enzymes from asco- and basidiomycete fungi. The research focuses on various aspects of fungal molecular biology and ...

Traditional composting often fails due to low lignocellulose degradation efficiency and the persistence of pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Additionally, the use of antibiotics ...

Lignocellulose bioconversion to biofuels and biochemicals is possible, but, according the LIU, the cost and efficiency of the enzymes used to initiate the conversion is a concern. Previously ...
