STUDYING THE PROCESSES OF PLANT CELLULOSE DEGRADATION TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF SECOND-GENERATION BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

The exploitation of lignocellulosic biomass, without competing with human food production, for the production of biofuels and bio-based materials, represents a significant challenge. The exploitation of plant cellulose relies in particular on the cleavage of plant polysaccharides using enzymatic compounds such as Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases (LPMOs), secreted in particular by filamentous fungi, which oxidise polysaccharides and thus stimulate their hydrolysis by other enzymes.
The aim of the project is to investigate the ability of LPMOs containing disordered C-terminal tails to dimerise more efficiently, thereby improving cellulose degradation.
