Secretome characterization of the lignocellulose-degrading fungi and growing on biomass.

C4 grasses are common species in rangelands around the world and represent an attractive option for second-generation biofuel production. Although they display high polysaccharide content and reach great levels of biomass accumulation, there is a major technical issue to be addressed before they can be used for bioethanol industrial production: lignin removal. Concerning this, and fungal genera have been highlighted due to their ability to hydrolyze lignocellulose in biological pretreatments.
