A thermostable and CBM2-linked GH10 xylanase from for paper bleaching.

Xylanases have the potential to be used as bio-deinking and bio-bleaching materials and their application will decrease the consumption of the chlorine-based chemicals currently used for this purpose. However, xylanases with specific properties could act effectively, such as having significant thermostability and alkali resistance, etc. In this study, we found that Xyl10A, a xylanase from , was greatly induced to transcript by microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) substrate.

Novel Synergistic Mechanism for Lignocellulose Degradation by a Thermophilic Filamentous Fungus and a Thermophilic Actinobacterium Based on Functional Proteomics.

Effective artificial microbial consortia containing microorganisms with desired biological functions have the potential to optimize the lignocellulose-based bioindustry. was a dominant actinobacterium in high-temperature corn stalk composts, but it was unable to grow alone in corn stalk solid medium. Interestingly, showed good growth and secreted enzymes when cocultured with .

Integrated Functional-Omics Analysis of Thermomyces lanuginosus Reveals its Potential for Simultaneous Production of Xylanase and Substituted Xylooligosaccharides.

Thermophiles have several beneficial properties for the conversion of biomass at high temperatures. Thermomyces lanuginosus is a thermophilic filamentous fungus that was shown to secrete 40 glycoside hydrolases and 25 proteases when grown on different carbon sources. Among the 13 identified glycoside hydrolases with high expression levels, 9 were reduced sugar glycosidases (RSGs) belonging to seven GH families, and 7 of the 10 identified proteases were exopeptidases belonging to six different protease families.

Enhanced Growth and Activities of the Dominant Functional Microbiota of Chicken Manure Composts in the Presence of Maize Straw.

As a consequence of intensive feeding, the bulk deposition of livestock manure causes severe environmental problems. Composting is a promising method for waste disposal, and the fermentation process is driven by microbial communities. However, chicken manure contains diverse gut microbes, mainly species derived from , which may include pathogens that threaten human health.
