Abstract

Enzymes cost still constitutes one of the major barriers for the commercial implementation of lignocellulosic ethanol. Therefore, search for more efficient enzymes and cost-effective production processes is required. While efficient commercial cellulases are available, the different hemicelluloses found in nature require the development of feedstock-specific hemicellulases. The present work targeted the inexpensive production of novel xylanases to be applied on-site for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol.
