Enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass: the role of glycosyl hydrolases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Lignocellulose constitutes a major component of discarded wastes from various industries viz. agriculture, forestry and municipal waste treatment. The potential use of lignocellulose from such types of biomass can be maximized by enzymatic degradation using glycoside hydrolases (GHs) and oxidative e...
