Mode of action and properties of xylanase and β-Xylosidase from Neurospora crassa
TL;DR: The synergistic effect was more pronounced, with the hydrolysis of 68%, when a homogeneous preparation of β‐xylosidase from Sclerotium rolfsii was added to the saccharification system.

Production of xylanolytic enzymes in association with the cellulolytic activities of Penicillium funiculosum
Chittra Mishra,R. Seeta,Mala Rao +2 more
TL;DR: The fractionation of culture filtrate of Penicillium funiculosum grown on cellulose Powder or in a combination of cellulose powder and wheat bran indicated the presence of two d -xylanases, which markedly influenced the degree of hydrolysis of d-xylan.

Characterization of a major xylanase purified from Lentinula edodes cultures grown on a commercial solid lignocellulosic substrate
TL;DR: The major xylanase detected in cultures grown on a commercial oak wood medium was extracted, purified, and characterized, and produced xylose and major identifiable products in the xylobiose or xylotriose size range, but neither glucuronic acid nor arabinose.

Induction and catabolite repression of cellulase inPenicillium funiculosum
TL;DR: Both endoglucanase and xylan enzyme activity were induced by CMC, whereas xylan induced only xylanase activity, and the effect of protease on induction of cellulase activity is discussed.

Production of ethanol from wood and agricultural residues by Neurospora crassa
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of utilizing the rapidly growing tropical wood for ethanol production by Neurospora crassa has been studied, and the results showed that the conversion of available hemicellulose/cellulose to ethanol in 5 days.
