Due to the heterogeneity and recalcitrance of plant cell wall, its complete and efficient degradation is a challenge to be overcome aiming the economic viability of second-generation ethanol. The development of new and improved enzyme cocktails requires greater knowledge of the active proteins in order to be optimized for the specific degradation of certain biomass. One of the most signif…
The understanding of enzymatic polysaccharide degradation has advanced in the past few years due to the identification of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), which enhanced enzymatic conversion of lignocelluloses in fermentable sugars. In the fungal kingdom, saprotrophic fungi display a high number of genes encoding AA9LPMOs, but the differences of these enzymes are not fully…
