Bioeconomy requires sustainable sources of biomass (e.g. chitin and cellulose) to use as energy, feed and biomaterials. In the quest of biomass conversion, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are key enzymatic ...

Microorganisms have evolved to exist in diverse environments on earth, even under the harsh conditions of oil reservoirs several kilometres below the seafloor. The environmental conditions there are extreme in several ...

Engineered block polysaccharides is a relatively new class of biomacromolecules consisting of chemical assembly of separate block structures at the chain termini. In contrast to conventional, laterally substituted ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that work efficiently and specifically to make life possible. Among their countless tasks in living organisms, they are responsible for the diversity of material properties found in nature. ...

Microorganisms are found ubiquitously around the world, where they survive as a result of their specialized biochemical reactions and enzymes. In the extreme environment of deep sea oil reservoirs, the microbes have to ...
