Identification and characterisation of hemicellulases from thermophilic Actinomycetes
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)To ensure the sustainability of bioethanol production, major attention has been directed to develop feedstocks which provide an alternative to food-crop biomass. Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass, which is chiefly composed of ... -
Isolation, identification and characterisation of novel actinobacteria from Zambian hot-springs
(2011)Actinomycetes are ubiquitous in many environments such as soil, activated sludge and water.Besides the genus Streptomyces, which has been extensively exploited, members of other genera including Micromonospora have been ... -
Laccases from actinomycetes for lignocellulose degradation
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Lignocellulose has a complex structure composed mainly of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose. Several enzymes are needed for the degradation of lignocellulose into simple sugars. Actinomycetes are known to produce laecases ...
