Article Abstract
The increased demand for energy has sparked a global search for renewable energy sources that could partly replace fossil fuel resources and help mitigate climate change. Cellulosic biomass is an ideal feedstock for renewable bioethanol production, but the process is not currently economically feasible due to the high cost of pretreatment and enzyme cocktails to release fermentable sugars. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) are auxiliary enzymes that can enhance cellulose hydrolysis. In this study, four LPMO and two CDH genes were subcloned and expressed in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y294 laboratory strain. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the extracellular production of the LPMOs and CDHs in the laboratory S. cerevisiae Y294 strain. A rudimentary cellulase cocktail (cellobiohydrolase 1 and 2, endoglucanase and β-glucosidase) was expressed in the commercial CelluX™ 4 strain and extracellular production of the individual cellulases was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. In vitro cooperation of the CDHs and LPMOs with the rudimentary cellulases produced by strain CelluX™ 4[F4-1] was demonstrated on Whatman filter paper. The significant levels of soluble sugars released from this crystalline cellulose substrate indicated that these auxiliary enzymes could be important components of the CBP yeast cellulolytic system.

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to second-generation biofuels through enzymes is achieved at a high cost. Filamentous fungi through a combination of oxidative enzymes can easily disintegrate the glycosidic bonds of cellulose. The combination of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) with lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) enhances cellulose degradation in many folds.

The natural function of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) to donate electrons from its catalytic flavodehydrogenase (DH) domain via its cytochrome (CYT) domain to lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) is an example of a highly efficient extracellular electron transfer chain. To investigate the function of the CYT domain movement in the two occurring electron transfer steps, two CDHs from the ascomycete (CDHIIA and CDHIIB) and five chimeric CDH enzymes created by domain swapping were studied in combination with the fungus' own LPMOs (LPMO9C and LPMO9F). Kinetic and electrochemical methods and hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry were used to study the domain movement, interaction, and electron transfer kinetics.

Background: Lignocellulose is the most abundant and renewable biomass resource on the planet. Lignocellulose can be converted into biofuels and high-value compounds; however, its recalcitrance makes its breakdown a challenge. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) offer tremendous promise for the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides.

CAZymes play a very important role in the biotransformation of corn stalk biomass, which is an important resource for sustainable development. Pleurotus djamor can produce CAZymes related to the decomposition of corn stalk lignocellulose biomass in sole corn stalk substrate; however, little is known about their encoding genes. In order to identify CAZymes encoding genes, RNA high-throughput sequencing of P.
