Functional characterization of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila.

Thermophilic fungi are a promising source of thermostable enzymes able to hydrolytically or oxidatively degrade plant cell wall components. Among these enzymes are lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), enzymes capable of enhancing biomass hydrolysis through an oxidative mechanism. Myceliophth...
