Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews basic research into the biochemistry and genetics of lignocellulose biodegradation; the breakdown of cellulose containing products utilizing microorganisms. This topic has received much attention of late because of possibilities for the biotechnology industry and because it is hoped that advances in the field will make a contribution to the energy crisis by utilizing biomass. However, there remains a good deal of basic research still to be done before full exploitation can be achieved.

Download or read book Ecology of Saprotrophic Basidiomycetes written by Lynne Boddy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-12-29 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The breadth and depth of understanding of many areas concerning basidiomycetes has increased dramatically since the premier publication of Frankland et al., Decomposer Basidiomycetes: their Biology and Ecology. New vistas have opened up with the advent of powerful computing, modeling and molecular approaches helping to greatly increase the general understanding of the ecology of basidiomycetes. This is tantamount to understanding the role of fungi in natural ecosystems because they are major agents of decomposition and nutrient cycling. These remarkable advances have been incorporated into this volume that discusses all aspects of saprotrophic basidiomycete ecology.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellulose is the most abundant biomolecule on Earth and is composed of chains of glucose, but its depolymerization for use in the production of renewable bioenergy and biomaterials is inefficient. To better understand the mechanisms of cellulose degradation by cellobiohydrolases, a class of enzymes that cleave cellulose into cellobiose dimers, we characterized accessory enzymes that act on cellulose in combination with Trichoderma reesei Cel7A, a cellobiohydrolase that targets the reducing ends of glucan chains in cellulose. The accessory enzymes studied include endo-1,4-[beta]-D-glucanase (Cel7B) from Trichoderma longibrachiatum and Cel6A, a cellobiohydrolase II. Cel7B randomly cleaves cellulose to produce additional binding sites for other cellulases, whereas Cel6A cleaves cellobiose units from the nonreducing ends of glucan chains in cellulose. By measuring reducing end production in reactions between cellulose from Acetobacter and these enzymes, we found that although the addition of Cel7B with Cel7A significantly enhances cellulose hydrolysis, the enzyme appears to act in an additive manner rather than a synergistic (multiplicative) one. Conversely, Cel6A appears to act synergistically with Cel7A at varying concentrations, resulting in more cellulose hydrolysis by the enzyme mixture than the sum of the two enzymes alone. Further experiments to test three-enzyme cocktails containing each of the previous enzymes indicate that combining all three cellulases increases synergy above that observed for each two-enzyme combination. These data will be used to develop biochemical models to help explain the single-molecule behaviors of these enzymes as they degrade cellulose alone or in concert, as observed using a newly developed SCATTIRSTORM microscope.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oil crisis during the 1970s turned interest towards the utilization of renewable resources and towards lignocellulosics in particular. The 1970s were also the cradle period of biotechnology, and the years when biotechnical utilization of lignocellulosic waste from agriculture and forestry gained priori ty. This was a logical conclusion since one of nature's most important biologi cal reactions is the conversion of wood and other lignocellulosic materials to carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. However, while biotechnology in other areas like medicine and pharmacology concerned production of expen sive products on a small scale, biotechnical utilization and conversion of ligno cellulosics meant production of inexpensive products on a large scale. Biotechnical utilization of lignocellulosic materials is therefore a very difficult task, and the commercial utilization of this technology has not progressed as rapidly as one would have desired. One reason for this was the lack of basic knowledge of enzyme mechanisms involved in the degradation and conversion of wood, other lignocellulosics and their individual components. There are also risks associated with initiating a technical development before a stable platform of knowledge is available. Several of the projects started with en thusiasm have therefore suffered some loss of interest. Also contributing to this failing interest is the fact that the oil crisis at the time was not a real one. At present, nobody predicts a rapid exhaustion of the oil resources and fuel production from lignocellulosics is no longer a high priority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent economic trends, especially the worldwide decline in oil prices, and an altered political climate in the United States have combined to bring about major reductions in research on renewable energy resources. Yet there is no escaping the "facts of life" with regard to these resources. The days of inexpensive fossil energy are clearly numbered, the credibility of nuclear energy has fallen to a new low, and fusion energy stands decades or more from practical realization. Sooner than we may wish ,we will have to turn to renewable raw materials - plant "biomass" and, especially, wood - as significant suppliers of energy for both industry and everyday needs. It is therefore especially important to have a single, comprehensive and current source of information on a key step in any process for the technological exploitation of woody materials, cellulose hydrolysis. Further more, it is essential that any such treatment be unbiased with respect to the two methods - chemical and biochemical - for the breakdown of cellulose to sugars. Researchers on cellulose hydrolysis have frequently been chided by persons from industry, especially those individuals concerned with determining the economic feasibility of various technological alternatives. They tell us that schemes for the utilization of wood and other such resources fly in the face of economic realities.
