The agricultural and forestry processing wastes (lignocellulosics) are an important material resource and energy source. However, if untreated they can pose a danger to the environment and potentially valuable resources. Microorganisms contribute significantly to solving the problem of biomass degradation, its recycling and conservation. In the recent years, an increasing interest shown by the textile, food, feed & pulp, and paper industries in the microbial and enzymatic processes has triggered in-depth studies of lignocellulolytic microorganisms and their enzymes. Moreover, the advent of recombinant DNA technology in the late 1970s further paved the way for developing technologies based on lignocellulolytic microbes and enzymes. Lignocellulose Biotechnology presents a comprehensive review of the research directed towards environmentally friendly agricultural and forest by-products. The book comprises 22 chapters, divided in four sections. It deals with a wide range of topics including biodiversity of lignocellulose degrading microorganisms and their enzymes, molecular biology of biodegradation of lignin, characterization of lignocellulolytic enzymes, bioconversion of plant biomass to produce enzymes, animal feed, bioethanol and industrial applications of lignocellulolytic enzymes. The chapters dealing with industrial applications also address current biotechnological approaches in lignocellulose bioconversion to value added products. This book is essential for students, researchers, scientists, and engineers working in the fields of environmental microbiology, environmental biotechnology, life sciences, waste management, and biomaterials.

This book is focused on new developments in lignocellulose research. In particular, lignocellulosic biomass has been the focus of considerable attention for the production of a wide range of valuable products in biorefineries which aim to utilize renewable starting material instead of fossil based products. The authors focus on the usage of hemicellulose to produce various bio-based products including platform chemicals that have considerable market potential in the coming years. Other chapters in the book review studies which have explored how the lignocellulose morphological structure affects the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and the corresponding plant cell wall structural changes. Other chapters describe the state-of-the-art of pretreatment processes, fermentation processes, microbial lipid accumulation pathway and methanolysis of the microbial lipids to increase the yields of biodiesel as well as the challenges associated with the use of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB); the ways in which membrane technology has been gaining widespread recognition to substitute the existing separation and purification technologies, specifically, the applications of ionic liquid based membranes; and the quantitative composition of secretome of potent biomass hydrolyzing fungi along with their post translational modifications and also the role of PTMs.
