1. 1. Activity and synergistic action on cellulosic substrates of engineered product-site variants of Hypocrea jecorina Cel7A

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

   Author : Umair Saleem; [2012]
   Keywords : cellulase; cellobiohydrolase; lignocellulose; biofuel; protein engineering; biotechnology; thermochemical pretreatment; spruce;

   Abstract : Cellobiohydrolase Cel7A (Hje_Cel7A) from the ascomycete fungus Hypocrea jecorina is the major component of enzyme cocktails for degradation of plant biomass to soluble sugars for conversion to biofuels. It’s active site is enclosed in a cellulose-binding tunnel and it is able to processively cleave off several cellobiose units from the end of a cellulose chain before being released. READ MORE

3. 2. Identification of proteins expressed by the root-rot fungus Heterobasidion annosum when growing on lignocellulose

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

   Author : Xiaoyu Wang; [2009]
   Keywords : Heterobasidion annosum; peptide mapping; lignocellulose; cellulase; cellobiohydrolase; wood degradation; white-rot fungus;

   Abstract : The Root-rot fungus, Heterobasidion annosum, is a major pathogen on spruce and pine trees and is estimated to cause up to 20 % production loss in the forest industry in the temperate region. The genome of H. annosum has recently been sequenced and a total of ~280 carbohydrate-active enzymes have been predicted so far. READ MORE
