Journal ArticleDOI
An oxidative enzyme boosting the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides.
Gustav Vaaje-Kolstad,Bjørge Westereng,Svein Jarle Horn,Zhanliang Liu,Hong Zhai,Morten Sørlie,Vincent G. H. Eijsink +6 more
TL;DR: An enzyme is described that acts on the surface of crystalline chitin, where it introduces chain breaks and generates oxidized chain ends, thus promoting further degradation by chit inases, demonstrating the existence of a hitherto unknown enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel enzymes for the degradation of cellulose
TL;DR: This work describes recent developments in enzyme technology for conversion of cellulose, the most abundant, homogeneous and recalcitrant polysaccharide in lignocellulosic biomass, and focuses on a recently discovered new type of enzymes currently classified as CBM33 and GH61 that catalyze oxidative cleavage ofpolysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides by monocopper enzymes depends on H2O2.
Bastien Bissaro,Bastien Bissaro,Åsmund K. Røhr,Gerdt Müller,Piotr Chylenski,Morten Skaugen,Zarah Forsberg,Svein Jarle Horn,Gustav Vaaje-Kolstad,Vincent G. H. Eijsink +9 more
TL;DR: The use of H2O2 by a monocopper enzyme that is otherwise cofactor-free offers new perspectives regarding the mode of action of copper enzymes, and these findings have implications for the enzymatic conversion of biomass in Nature and in industrial biorefining.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of LPMO activity on hemicelluloses shows the importance of oxidative processes in plant cell wall degradation
Jane Wittrup Agger,Trine Isaksen,Anikó Várnai,Silvia Vidal-Melgosa,William G.T. Willats,Roland Ludwig,Svein Jarle Horn,Vincent G. H. Eijsink,Bjørge Westereng,Bjørge Westereng +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that an LPMO from Neurospora crassa, NcLPMO9C, indeed degrades various hemicelluloses, in particular xyloglucan, and this finding dramatically widens the scope of LPMOs and oxidative processes in plant cell wall degradation and biorefining.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a more sustainable municipal wastewater treatment system
TL;DR: In this article, a new concept is discussed along general lines, which consists of a first stage in which a maximal sludge production is achieved, in this way COD is removed as sludge and aeration requirements minimized.
