Utilizing lignocellulosic biomass effectively can lessen reliance on fossil fuels and facilitate the production of second-generation biorefinery feedstocks. The nonspecific binding of lignin to cellulases is one of the main factors affecting their enzymatic performance and hampering their efficiency in degrading lignocellulose. Processive endocellulase from Acidothermus cellulolyticus 11B has a modular structure consisting of several carbohydrate-binding modules, a glycoside hydrolase family 9 catalytic domain, and a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain. This study investigated the role of the FN3 in the degradation of lignocellulose by constructing multiple mutants. The results showed that the FN3 could improve the thermal stability of the enzyme and resist the nonspecific binding of lignin to cellulase. This characteristic can significantly increase the lignocellulose's enzymatic efficiency and offer a novel approach to the artificial design of multi-modular cellulases.

Nitrogen (N) deficiency is a major limiting factor for the growth and productivity of perennial trees. In woody plants, secondary xylem formation is influenced by N availability, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying the wood property changes under low nitrogen (LN) conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of PagMYB206 in regulating secondary xylem development and acclimation to LN stress in Populus alba × Populus glandulosa.

Sugarcane bagasse pith (SBP), a byproduct of sugar production, is often discarded or burned as waste, despite its potential as a biofuel feedstock. This study explores ozone pretreatment as a processing step to enhance the physicochemical and pelletizing properties of SBP for biofuel production. Ozone pretreatment, conducted in a fixed-bed reactor, selectively reduced lignin content and improved the biomass's binding properties, promoting stronger interparticle adhesion during pelletization.

BAHD acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) transferases comprise a large family of enzymes in plants which transfer an acyl group from a CoA thioester to hydroxyl or amine groups to form esters or amides, respectively. Clade Vb of this family primarily utilizes hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. These enzymes are involved in biosynthesis of diverse specialized metabolites with functions such as structure (.
