A novel GH11 β-1,4-xylanase from Fusarium verticillioides: Its eukaryotic expression, biochemical characterization and synergistic effect with cellulase on lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

A recently discovered GH11 β-xylanase, FvXynA, from the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris and displayed the highest activity toward beechwood xylan (1258.7 IU/mg) under the optimum reaction conditions of 50 °C and pH 5.0.

Mechanical, barrier and antimicrobial properties of corn distarch phosphate/nanocrystalline cellulose films incorporated with Nisin and ε-polylysine.

Antimicrobial bio-nanocomposite films were prepared by incorporating nisin (0.25-0.5% W/W) and ε-polylysine (PL, 0.
