Thermostable endoglucanase gene derived by amplification from the genomic DNA of a cellulose-enriched mixed culture from mudspring water of Mt. Makiling, Laguna, Philippines
WORLD JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, 36(3).
author keywords: Endoglucanase; Saccharolobus; Mt; Makiling mudspring; Lignocellulose hydrolysis; Thermophiles
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Archaea / enzymology; Archaea / genetics; Bacteria / enzymology; Bacteria / genetics; Base Sequence; Cellulase / genetics; Cellulase / metabolism; Cellulose / metabolism; Cloning, Molecular; DNA; Enzyme Stability; Escherichia coli / genetics; Genomics; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Molecular Weight; Philippines; Recombinant Proteins; Sequence Alignment; Sulfolobales / enzymology; Sulfolobales / genetics; Temperature; Water / metabolism; Water Microbiology
TL;DR:
The thermo-acid stable endoglucanase gene can be used in a supplementary hydrolysis step to further hydrolyze the lignocellulosic materials that were previously treated under high temperature-dilute acid conditions, thereby enhancing the release of more glucose sugars for bioethanol production.

author keywords: cyst nematode; flavonoids; Heterodera schachtii; Meloidogyne incognita; parasitism; root-knot nematode

Use of the lignocellulose-degrading bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii to assess recalcitrance and conversion of wild-type and transgenic poplar
BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS, 13(1).
author keywords: Caldicellulosiruptor; Extreme thermophiles; Lignocellulose; Biofuel; Poplar
TL;DR:
Utilizing C. bescii as a screening assay for recalcitrance, poplar lines with down-regulation of coumarate 3-hydroxylase 3 (C3H3) resulted in the highest degrees of solubilization and conversion by C. Bescii, suggesting that excellent digestibility can be achieved without compromising fitness of the tree.
