Abstract
Lignocellulose biomass has recently been considered a cost-effective and renewable energy source within circular economy management. Cellulases are important key enzymes for simple, fast, and clean biomass decomposition. The intestinal tract of millipedes is the environment which can provide promising microbial strains with cellulolytic potential. In the present study, we used the tropical millipede Telodeinopus aoutii as an experimental organism. Within a feeding test in which millipedes were fed with oak and maple leaf litter, we focused on isolating culturable cellulolytic microbiota from the millipede gut. Several growth media selecting for actinobacteria, bacteria, and fungi have been used to cultivate microbial strains with cellulolytic activities. Our results showed that oak-fed millipedes provided a higher number of culturable bacteria and a more diversified microbial community than maple-fed ones. The screening for cellulolytic activity using Congo red revealed that about 30% of bacterial and fungal phylotypes isolated from the gut content of T. aoutii, produced active cellulases in vitro. Actinobacteria Streptomyces and Kitasatospora were the most active cellulolytic genera on Congo red test. In contrast, fungi Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cheatomium, Clonostachys, and Trichoderma showed the highest protein-specific cellulase activity quantified by 4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-cellobioside (4-MUC). Our findings provide a basis for future research on the enzyme activities of microbes isolated from the digestive tracts of invertebrates and their biocatalytic role in biomass degradation.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can catalyze polysaccharides by oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds and have catalytic activity for cellulose, hemicellulose, chitin, starch and pectin, thus playing an important role in the biomass conversion of lignocellulose. The catalytic substrates of LPMOs are different and the specific catalytic mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Although there have been many studies related to LPMOs, few have actually been put into industrial biomass conversion, which poses a challenge for their expression, regulation and application. In this review, the origin, substrate specificity, structural features, and the relationship between structure and function of LPMOs are described. Additionally, the catalytic mechanism and electron donor of LPMOs and their heterologous expression and regulation are discussed. Finally, the synergistic degradation of biomass by LPMOs with other polysaccharide hydrolases is reviewed, and their current problems and future research directions are pointed out.

Abstract
Given that traditional biorefineries have been based on microbial fermentation to produce useful fuels, materials, and chemicals as metabolites, saccharification is an important step to obtain fermentable sugars from biomass. It is well-known that glycosidic hydrolases (GHs) are responsible for the saccharification of recalcitrant polysaccharides through hydrolysis, but the discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), which is a kind of oxidative enzyme involved in cleaving polysaccharides and boosting GH performance, has profoundly changed the understanding of enzyme-based saccharification. This review briefly introduces the classification, structural information, and catalytic mechanism of LPMOs. In addition to recombinant expression strategies, synergistic effects with GH are comprehensively discussed. Challenges and perspectives for LPMO-based saccharification on a large scale are also briefly mentioned. Ultimately, this review can provide insights for constructing an economically viable lignocellulose-based biorefinery system and a closed-carbon loop to cope with climate change.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) emerged a decade ago and have been described as biomass deconstruction boosters as they play an extremely important role in unravelling the enzymatic biomass hydrolysis scheme. These are oxidative enzymes requiring partners to donate electrons during catalytic action on cellulose backbone. Commercial cellulase preparations are mostly from the robust fungal sources, hence LPMOs from fungi (AA9) have been discussed. Characterisation of LPMOs suffers due to multiple complications which has been discussed and challenges in detection of LPMOs in secretomes has also been highlighted. This review focuses on the significance of LPMOs on biomass hydrolysis due to which it has become a key component of cellulolytic cocktail available commercially for biomass deconstruction and its routine analysis challenge has also been discussed. It has also outlined a few key points that help in expressing catalytic active recombinant AA9 LPMOs.

Abstract
The review discusses various aspects of renewable plant biomass conversion and production of the second-generation biofuels, including the types of plant biomass, its composition and reaction ability in the enzymatic hydrolysis, and various pretreatment methods for increasing the biomass reactivity. Conversion of plant biomass into sugars requires the use of a complex of enzymes, the composition of which should be adapted to the biomass type and the pretreatment method. The efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis can be increased by optimizing the composition of the enzymatic complex and by increasing the catalytic activity and operational stability of its constituent enzymes. The availability of active enzyme producers also plays an important role. Examples of practical implementation and scaling of processes for the production of second-generation biofuels are presented together with the cost analysis of bioethanol production.

Abstract
To enhance the biomass conversion efficiency, the R17L mutant of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) MtC1LPMO with improved catalytic efficiency was constructed via rational point mutation based on the HotSpot Wizard 3.0 and dezyme web servers. Compared with the wild-type (WT) MtC1LPMO, R17L exhibited a 1.8-fold increase of specific activity and 1.92-fold increase of catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km). The degree of increase of the reducing sugar yield from microcrystalline cellulose and three plant biomass materials during synergistic hydrolysis using cellulase in combination with R17L was about 2 times higher than with the WT. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the R17L mutation reduced the stability of the region R18-I36, which then weakened the direct interactions between region N24-V31 and the substrate cellohexaose. Consequently, the deflection time of the cellohexaose conformation in R17L was prolonged compared to the WT, which enhanced its catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass requires concerted development of a pretreatment method, an enzyme cocktail and an enzymatic process, all of which are adapted to the feedstock. Recent years have shown great progress in most aspects of the overall process. In particular, increased insights into the contributions of a wide variety of cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic enzymes have improved the enzymatic processing step and brought down costs. Here, we review major pretreatment technologies and different enzyme process setups and present an in-depth discussion of the various enzyme types that are currently in use. We pay ample attention to the role of the recently discovered lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), which have led to renewed interest in the role of redox enzyme systems in lignocellulose processing. Better understanding of the interplay between the various enzyme types, as they may occur in a commercial enzyme cocktail, is likely key to further process improvements.

Abstract
Cellulose-degrading auxiliary activity family 9 (AA9) lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are known to be widely distributed among filamentous fungi and participate in the degradation of lignocellulose via the oxidative cleavage of celluloses, cello-oligosaccharides, or hemicelluloses. AA9 LPMOs have been reported to have extensive interactions with not only cellulases but also oxidases. The addition of AA9 LPMOs can greatly reduce the amount of cellulase needed for saccharification and increase the yield of glucose. The discovery of AA9 LPMOs has greatly changed our understanding of how fungi degrade cellulose. In this review, apart from summarizing the recent discoveries related to their catalytic reaction, functional diversity, and practical applications, the stability, expression system, and protein engineering of AA9 LPMOs are reviewed for the first time. This review may provide a reference value to further broaden the substrate range of AA9 LPMOs, expand the scope of their practical applications, and realize their customization for industrial utilization.Key Points• The stability and expression system of AA9 LPMOs are reviewed for the first time.• The protein engineering of AA9 LPMOs is systematically summarized for the first time.• The latest research results on the catalytic mechanism of AA9 LPMOs are summarized.• The application of AA9 LPMOs and their relationship with other enzymes are reviewed.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are monocopper enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides in the presence of an external electron donor (reductant). In the classical O2-driven monooxygenase reaction, the reductant is needed in stoichiometric amounts. In a recently discovered, more efficient H2O2-driven reaction, the reductant would be needed only for the initial reduction (priming) of the LPMO to its catalytically active Cu(I) form. However, the influence of the reductant on reducing the LPMO or on H2O2 production in the reaction remains undefined. Here, we conducted a detailed kinetic characterization to investigate how the reductant affects H2O2-driven degradation of 14C-labeled chitin by a bacterial LPMO, SmLPMO10A (formerly CBP21). Sensitive detection of 14C-labeled products and careful experimental set-ups enabled discrimination between the effects of the reductant on LPMO priming and other effects, in particular enzyme-independent production of H2O2 through reactions with O2 When supplied with H2O2, SmLPMO10A catalyzed 18 oxidative cleavages per molecule of ascorbic acid, suggesting a "priming reduction" reaction. The dependence of initial rates of chitin degradation on reductant concentration followed hyperbolic saturation kinetics, and differences between the reductants were manifested in large variations in their half-saturating concentrations (K mR app). Theoretical analyses revealed that K mR app decreases with a decreasing rate of polysaccharide-independent LPMO reoxidation (by either O2 or H2O2). We conclude that the efficiency of LPMO priming depends on the relative contributions of reductant reactivity, on the LPMO's polysaccharide monooxygenase/peroxygenase and reductant oxidase/peroxidase activities, and on reaction conditions, such as O2, H2O2, and polysaccharide concentrations.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are powerful enzymes that oxidatively cleave glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides. The ability of these copper enzymes to boost the degradation of lignocellulose has greatly stimulated research efforts and biocatalytic applications within the biorefinery field. Initially found as oxidizing recalcitrant substrates, such as chitin and cellulose, it is now clear that LPMOs cleave a broad range of oligo- and poly-saccharides and make use of various electron-donating systems. Herein, substrate specificities and electron-donating systems of fungal LPMOs are summarized. A closer look at LPMOs as part of the fungal enzyme machinery might provide insights into their role in fungal growth and plant-pathogen interactions to further stimulate the search for novel LPMO applications.

Abstract
Filamentous fungi are considered as the most efficient producers expressing lignocellulose-degrading enzymes. Penicillium oxalicum strains possess extraordinary fungal lignocellulolytic enzyme systems and can efficiently utilize plant biomass. In recent years, the regulatory aspects of production of hydrolytic enzymes by P. oxalicum have been well established. This review aims to discuss the recent developments for the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes by P. oxalicum. The main cellulolytic transcription factors mediating the complex transcriptional-regulatory network are highlighted. The genome-wide identification of cellulolytic transcription factors, the cascade regulation network for cellulolytic gene expression, and the synergistic and dose-controlled regulation by cellulolytic regulators are discussed. A cellulase regulatory network sensitive to inducers in intracellular environments, the cross-talk of regulation of lignocellulose-degrading enzyme and amylase, and accessory enzymes are also demonstrated. Finally, strategies for the metabolic engineering of P. oxalicum, which show promising applications in the enzymatic hydrolysis for biochemical production, are established.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are recently discovered enzymes that catalyze the oxidative deconstruction of polysaccharides. However fast and reliable methods of determination of LPMO activity still need to be developed, especially those based on the initial reaction rates. A method based on the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurements, using a Seahorse XFp Analyzer with highly-sensitive fluorimetric sensors, was applied for monitoring the oxidation of amorphous cellulose by three fungal LPMOs: recombinant enzymes from Thielavia terrestris (GH61E), Trichoderma reesei (Cel61A), and a native LPMO9A from Myceliophthora thermophila. The turnover numbers for 4 μM enzymes acting on 4 mg mL-1 cellulose at 37 °C were 0.88, 1.26 and 0.93 min-1, respectively. A possibility of feeding the dissolved reagents into the reaction system during measurements with obtaining a simultaneous response in the OCR allowed in situ monitoring the LPMO inhibition and activation by EDTA and Cu2+ ions as well as studying other effects on the enzymatic reaction.

Using an Inducible Promoter of a Gene Encoding Penicillium verruculosum Glucoamylase for Production of Enzyme Preparations with Enhanced Cellulase Performance. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0170404. [PMID: 28107425 PMCID: PMC5249098 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0170404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2016] [Accepted: 01/04/2017] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Penicillium verruculosum is an efficient producer of highly active cellulase multienzyme system. One of the approaches for enhancing cellulase performance in hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates is to enrich the reaction system with β -glucosidase and/or accessory enzymes, such as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO) displaying a synergism with cellulases. Results Genes bglI, encoding β-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger (AnBGL), and eglIV, encoding LPMO (formerly endoglucanase IV) from Trichoderma reesei (TrLPMO), were cloned and expressed by P. verruculosum B1-537 strain under the control of the inducible gla1 gene promoter. Content of the heterologous AnBGL in the secreted multienzyme cocktails (hBGL1, hBGL2 and hBGL3) varied from 4 to 10% of the total protein, while the content of TrLPMO in the hLPMO sample was ~3%. The glucose yields in 48-h hydrolysis of Avicel and milled aspen wood by the hBGL1, hBGL2 and hBGL3 preparations increased by up to 99 and 80%, respectively, relative to control enzyme preparations without the heterologous AnBGL (at protein loading 5 mg/g substrate for all enzyme samples). The heterologous TrLPMO in the hLPMO preparation boosted the conversion of the lignocellulosic substrate by 10–43%; however, in hydrolysis of Avicel the hLPMO sample was less effective than the control preparations. The highest product yield in hydrolysis of aspen wood was obtained when the hBGL2 and hLPMO preparations were used at the ratio 1:1. Conclusions The enzyme preparations produced by recombinant P. verruculosum strains, expressing the heterologous AnBGL or TrLPMO under the control of the gla1 gene promoter in a starch-containing medium, proved to be more effective in hydrolysis of a lignocellulosic substrate than control enzyme preparations without the heterologous enzymes. The enzyme composition containing both AnBGL and TrLPMO demonstrated the highest performance in lignocellulose hydrolysis, providing a background for developing a fungal strain capable to express both heterologous enzymes simultaneously.
