Article Abstract
Although molecular regulation of cellulolytic enzyme production in filamentous fungi has been actively explored, the underlying signaling processes in fungal cells are still not clearly understood. In this study, the molecular signaling mechanism regulating cellulase production in was investigated. We found that the transcription and extracellular cellulolytic activity of four cellulolytic enzymes (, , , and ) increased in Avicel (microcrystalline cellulose) medium. Intracellular nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detected by fluorescent dyes were observed in larger areas of fungal hyphae grown in Avicel medium compared to those grown in glucose medium. The transcription of the four cellulolytic enzyme genes in fungal hyphae grown in Avicel medium was significantly decreased and increased after NO was intracellularly removed and extracellularly added, respectively. Furthermore, we found that the cyclic AMP (cAMP) level in fungal cells was significantly decreased after intracellular NO removal, and the addition of cAMP could enhance cellulolytic enzyme activity. Taken together, our data suggest that the increase in intracellular NO in response to cellulose in media may have promoted the transcription of cellulolytic enzymes and participated in the elevation of intracellular cAMP, eventually leading to improved extracellular cellulolytic enzyme activity.

Cladorrhinum, a genus of soil fungi belonging to the Podosporaceae family within the Sordariales order of the Ascomycota phylum, comprises several species with diverse physiological capabilities. While there are existing data on the cellulolytic activity of Cladorrhinum bulbillosum and Cladorrhinum foecundissimum, no reports are available on the potential of other species in this genus. In this study, different strains of Cladorrhinum were evaluated for carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity on solid medium, and the strains exhibiting the highest activity levels were selected.

Cellulose, the most abundant organic polymer in soil, is degraded by the action of microbial communities. Cellulolytic taxa are widespread in soils, enhancing the biodegradation of cellulose by the synergistic action of different cellulase enzymes. β-glucosidases are the last enzymes responsible for the degradation of cellulose by producing glucose from the conversion of the disaccharide cellobiose.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock for biofuel production, but its complex structure, including cellulose and hemicellulose, challenges efficient enzymatic hydrolysis. CelyA, a novel cellulase from the yak rumen, has potential for improving biomass degradation and biofuel production. The CelyA gene was cloned, expressed, and purified.

Sorangium cellulosum is a cellulolytic myxobacterium that produces a vast array of complex natural products with diverse chemical scaffolds and biological activities. However, biosynthetic investigations of these metabolites have been hindered by the scarcity of genetic manipulation tools available for their producing microorganisms. Here, we develop an efficient electroporation method for transforming foreign DNA into various Sorangium strains, enabling effective genetic engineering via homologous recombination.

Background: Ferulic acid possesses certain antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Additionally, ferulic acid esterase (FAE) and cellulolytic enzymes have been associated with synergistic degradation of ferulic acid ester bonds, thereby facilitating greater release of ferulic acid from lignocellulose, which could have important effects on silage quality and aerobic stability.
Methods: This study examined the effects of ensiling Broussonetia papyrifera with FAE-producing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LP), cellulase (CE) and xylanase (XY) under aerobic exposure conditions.
