Reduction of Cell Wall Methylation and Recalcitrance 2016-141
ABSTRACT: Plant biomass is a large source of fermentable sugars for the synthesis of bioproducts using engineered microbes. These sugars are stored as cell wall polymers, mainly cellulose and hemicellulose, and are embedded with lignin, which makes their enzymatic hydrolysis challenging. One of the strategies to reduce cell wall recalcitrance is the modification of lignin … [Read more...] about Reduction of Cell Wall Methylation and Recalcitrance 2016-141
