Engineering of for Hemicellulosic Biomass Utilization.

The saccharification of cellulose and hemicellulose is essential for utilizing lignocellulosic biomass as a biofuel. While cellulose is composed of glucose only, hemicelluloses are composed of diverse sugars such as xylose, arabinose, glucose, and galactose. is a good potential candidate for biofuel production using hemicellulose as this archaeon simultaneously utilizes various sugars.
