One of the major barriers to ethanol second-generation producing is the high cost of enzymes used in enzymatic saccharification of cellulose. Recalcitrant biomass characteristics consume a high enzyme loading that increases the processing cost and making it economically unviable. In saccharification stage, the cellulases enzymes have a limited accessibility to microfibrils of the crystall…
Lignocellulosic biomass is the subject of several studies in the field of biotechnology, with a view to the implementation of biorefineries of sugar cane, for the production of biofuels and biomaterials. However, certain characteristics of the cell wall impede the access of the enzymes during the hydrolysis in the saccharification of the glucose chains. Studies show that plant proteins Ex…
Research of the production of new materials and sustainable energy has been successively reported in cellulose conversion. Nevertheless, recalcitrant biomass characteristics make the access of cellulase enzymes to cellulose polymer difficult. Proteins, such as Expansin and Xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase / hydrolases (XTH) naturally present in the cell wall of plants, are able to structu…
