O-16 Secretomic analysis of Phanerochaete chrysosporium for biomass degradation

Abstract

We performed a comparative analysis of the expression levels of proteins secreted by Phanerochaete chrysosporium cultured with either untreated or ammonia-treated lignocellulosic biomass. The results indicated that P. chrysosporium produced enzymes related to the degradation of de-acetylated xylan and nitrogen-containing biomass. The results also suggested that P. chrysosporium recognized ammonia-treated biomass as a xylan and nitrogen-containing biomass, and that it regulated the production of related enzymes. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying these processes might facilitate the optimization of enzyme cocktails for the production of bio-fuels.
