Insights into the xylan degradation system of Cellulomonas sp. B6: biochemical characterization of rCsXyn10A and rCsAbf62A.

Valorization of the hemicellulose fraction of plant biomass is crucial for the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. The Cellulomonas genus comprises Gram-positive Actinobacteria that degrade cellulose and other polysaccharides by secreting a complex array of enzymes. In this work, we studied the specificity and synergy of two enzymes, CsXyn10A and CsAbf62A, which were identified as highly abundant in the extracellular proteome of Cellulomonas sp.

Synergic activity of Cel8Pa β-1,4 endoglucanase and Bg1Pa β-glucosidase from A59 in beta-glucan conversion.

In the efficient bioconversion of polysaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass, endoglucanases and β-glucosidases are key enzymes for the deconstruction of β-glucans. In this work, we focused on a GH8 endoglucanase (Cel8Pa) and a GH1 β-glucosidase (Bg1Pa) from A59. Cel8Pa was active on a broad range of substrates, such as β-glucan from barley (24.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of barley straw for biofuel industry using a novel strain of from Paranaense rainforest.

Agricultural practices generate lignocellulosic waste that can be bioconverted by fungi to generate value-added products such as biofuels. In this context, fungal enzymes are presented as an alternative for their use in the hydrolysis of cellulose to sugars that can be fermented to ethanol. The aim of this work was to characterize LBM 033 strain and to analyze its efficiency in the hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates, including barley straw.

EcXyl43 β-xylosidase: molecular modeling, activity on natural and artificial substrates, and synergism with endoxylanases for lignocellulose deconstruction.

Biomass hydrolysis constitutes a bottleneck for the biotransformation of lignocellulosic residues into bioethanol and high-value products. The efficient deconstruction of polysaccharides to fermentable sugars requires multiple enzymes acting concertedly. GH43 β-xylosidases are among the most interesting enzymes involved in hemicellulose deconstruction into xylose.

Draft Genome Sequence of Cellulolytic and Xylanolytic Cellulomonas sp. Strain B6 Isolated from Subtropical Forest Soil.

Cellulomonas sp. strain B6 was isolated from a subtropical forest soil sample and presented (hemi)cellulose-degrading activity. We report here its draft genome sequence, with an estimated genome size of 4 Mb, a G+C content of 75.

GH10 XynA is the main xylanase identified in the crude enzymatic extract of Paenibacillus sp. A59 when grown on xylan or lignocellulosic biomass.

A novel bacterial isolate with polysaccharides degrading activity was identified as Paenibacillus sp., and named Paenibacillus sp. A59.
