Abstract
Application of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) as catalysts in biorefining of lignocellulosic biomass into bioproducts and biofuels reduces both chemical waste production and carbon footprint. The filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum can secrete integrated CWDEs, with potential for industrial application.
