Different physicochemical and enzymatic treatments are applied in order to overcome the recalcitrance of plant cell wall to degradation. Glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) integrate a class of enzymes widely used in enzymatic process since they perform the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in a wide variety of polysaccharides. Apart from the catalytic domains, several glycosyl hydrolases contain acce…
The development of renewable sources of energy is mainly motivated by the projection of oil reserves depletion and climate change caused by combustion of fossil fuels. In this context, lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable source of energy because of its wide availability and low cost. Therefore, it is necessary that the polysaccharides comprised in the plant cell wall are depo…
