BACKGROUND: Yarrowia lipolytica, one of the most widely studied "nonconventional" oleaginous yeast species, is unable to grow on cellobiose. Engineering cellobiose-degrading ability into this yeast is a vital step towards the development of cellulolytic biocatalysts suitable for consolidated bioprocessing.RESULTS:...

PMID: 27393352
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 1998;62(1):39-43. doi: 10.1271/bbb.62.39.

Hydrolyzing activities toward p-nitrophenyl (p-NP)-β-D-glucoside and laminarin in a culture filtrate of Bacillus circulans KA-304, which has been observed to form protoplasts from Schizophyllum commune mycelia, increased when the bacterium was grown on a cell-wall preparation (CWP) of S....

The development of small molecule activity-based probes (ABPs) is an evolving and powerful area of chemistry. There is a major need for synthetically accessible and specific ABPs to advance our understanding of enzymes in health and disease. α-Glucosidases are...

Lignocellulolytic enzyme profiles of edible mushroom fungi.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology

Buswell JA, Cai YJ, Chang ST, Peberdy JF, Fu SY, Yu HS.
PMID: 24415386
World J Microbiol Biotechnol. 1996 Sep;12(5):537-42. doi: 10.1007/BF00419469.

One of the most economically-viable processes for the bioconversion of many types of lignocellulosic wastes is represented by edible mushroom cultivation. Lentinula edodes, Volvariella volvacea and Pleurotus sajor-caju are three important commercially cultivated mushrooms which exhibit varying abilities to...

Brazil is a major producer of agro-industrial residues, such as sugarcane bagasse, which could be used as raw material for microbial production of cellulases as an important strategy for the development of sustainable processes of second generation ethanol production....

A novel efficient β-glucanase from a paddy soil microbial metagenome with versatile activities.

Biotechnology for biofuels

Zhou Y, Wang X, Wei W, Xu J, Wang W, Xie Z, Zhang Z, Jiang H, Wang Q, Wei C.
PMID: 26877766
Biotechnol Biofuels. 2016 Feb 13;9:36. doi: 10.1186/s13068-016-0449-6. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Cellulose, an abundant and renewable polysaccharides, constitutes the largest resource for bioconversion of biofuels. Plant polysaccharides hydrolysis is catalyzed by cellulases, which include endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and β-glucosidases. Converting cellulose and hemicellulose to short chains of oligosaccharides by endo-/exoglucanases...

Linamarase and other β-glucosidases are present in the cell walls of Trifolium repens L. leaves.

β-glucosidases (BGLs) hydrolyze cello-oligosaccharides to glucose and play a crucial role in the enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic biomass. Despite their significance for the production of glucose, most identified BGLs are commonly inhibited by low (∼mM) concentrations of glucose. Therefore,...
