Article Synopsis
- The global demand for energy is driving the search for renewable sources, with cellulosic biomass showing promise for bioethanol production despite current economic challenges.
- Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) are auxiliary enzymes that can improve cellulose breakdown, and this study successfully expressed these enzymes in a lab yeast strain.
- The research demonstrated that combining CDHs and LPMOs with a basic cellulase cocktail significantly increased the release of soluble sugars from cellulose, suggesting their potential role in enhancing bioethanol production efficiency.
