Lignocellulose Converting Enzymes from Thermophiles

  • Reference work entry
Extremophiles Handbook

Introduction

Due to the limitation of fossil resources, increasing CO2emission, and high fuel demands, the efficient utilization of renewable resources will play a crucial role in the future. Biomass derived from plants is considered to be a suitable resource for the production of energy carriers, e.g., ethanol, methane, hydrogen as well as high value products such as fine chemicals, building blocks, pharmaceuticals, and biopolymers (Biorefinery). Accordingly, the industrial (white) biotechnology with its current world market of more than 90 billion dollars will have a great impact on our life. The bottle neck in this technology is the development of robust enzymes that are able to convert the complex plant material to fermentable products such as glucose and xylose. Microorganisms that live at elevated temperatures are suitable candidates for the production of thermoactive biopolymer degrading enzymes. In most cases enzymes of thermophiles are superior to the traditional catalysts,...
