Article Synopsis
- Lytic polysaccharides monooxygenases (LPMOs) challenge traditional views on cellulose breakdown by enabling oxidative cleavage alongside hydrolases, enhancing biomass conversion for biofuels and chemicals.
- The E7 LPMO from Thermobifida fusca was successfully expressed in both E. coli and Pichia pastoris, allowing for biochemical analysis of its activity on cellulose substrates.
- Mass spectrometry revealed that the E7 LPMO effectively cleaves cellulose, but reaction optimization is needed to improve cellulose breakdown efficiency.
