The current study is the first to describe the temporal and differential transcriptional expression of two lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) genes of Rasamsonia emersonii in response to various carbon sources. The mass spectrometry based secretome analysis of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) expression in response to different carbon sources ...

The study was aimed at developing lignocellulolytic strain capable of efficient hydrolysis of mild alkali deacetylated (MAD) rice straw. The valorisation of lignin rich black liquor obtained during pre-treatment of rice straw into biogas was also evaluated. Study reports highly proficient cellulolytic Aspergillus allahabadii strain harbouring a spectrum o ...

Two lignocellulolytic accessory enzymes, feruloyl esterase D (FAED_SCYTH) and ß-xylosidase (XYL43B_SCYTH) were cloned and produced in the Pichia pastoris X33 as host. The molecular weight of recombinant enzymes FAED_SCYTH and XYL43B_SCYTH were ~ 31 and 40 kDa, respectively. FAED_SCYTH showed optimal activity at pH 6.0, 60 °C; and XYL43B_SCYTH at pH 7.0, 5 ...

A novel Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase (LPMO) family AA9 (PMO9A_MALCI) protein from thermophilic fungus Malbranchea cinnamomea was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The expressed protein was purified to homogeneity using ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis showed PMO9A_MALCI to be ~27 kDa protein. High per ...
