Abstract
The lignocellulosic biomass from plant-derived waste can be converted into second-generation biofuels in a process that requires the deconstruction of this material into smaller and simpler molecules. The fungus Trichoderma reesei produces enzymes, such as cellulases, that are involved in the hydrolysis of the lignocellulosic biomass; however, due to the high costs of production, optimiza…
