Towards a comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanisms of « Lytic polysaccharide monooxygénases » (LPMO) for an optimized hydrolysis of recalcitrant lignocellulose substrates
The production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic substrates depends on efficient enzymatic hydrolysis, which is one of the most expensive steps in the process. The Trichoderma reesei enzymatic cocktail is one of the most efficient, but certain substrates, such as softwood or Miscanthus, remain difficult to degrade with a low sugar yield.
