Production of Trichoderma cellulase in laboratory and pilot scale

Toward an aggregated understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: Noncomplexed cellulase systems

“…Trichoderma viride is a valid species aggregate, which is used for all unknown Trichoderma species; while all T. reesei are developed from a single isolate (QM6a), named in recognition of the pioneering contributions of Elwin Reese. Most commercial cellulases are produced from Trichoderma spp., with a few also produced by Aspergillus niger (Esterbauer et al, 1991;Nieves et al, 1998). The reader is referred to recent comprehensive reviews that address features of noncomplexed cellulase/ hemicellulase systems produced by organisms other than T. reesei (Bhat and Bhat, 1997;Broda et al, 1996;Ito, 1997;Shallom and Shoham, 2003;Singh et al, 2003;Subramaniyan and Prema, 2000;Tomme et al, 1995a;Warren, 1996;Wilson, 2004).…”

Influence of stationary and bioreactor cultivation on Lentinula edodes (berk) pegler lignocellulolitic activity

“…The enzymes found in this case were mostly represented by the presence of laccase, MnP and LiP, once again corroborating these enzymes potential (Mayer and Staples, 2002). Many studies have been directed to the development of more productive microbial strains while others concentrated on improving the fermentation processes (Esterbauer et al, 1991;Haltrich et al, 1996). Among several kinds of biomass materials, lignocellulosic has been considered an optimistic one due to its abundance, low cost and high viability potential.…”

Wood production, wood technology, and biotechnological impacts

“…Endoglucanases cut the cellulose chain internally leaving oligosaccharides, which are cleaved by exoglucanases into cellobiose molecules (cellulose 1,4-β-cellobiohydrolase) or, glucose is chipped from their ends (glucan 1,4-β-glucosidase). β-glucosidases can react on cellobiose, thereby releasing glucose molecules (Esterbauer et al 1991; see Chapter 17 of this book).…”
