Comparison of Thermobifida fusca cellulases expressed in Escherichia coli and Nicotiana tabacum indicates advantages of the plant system for the expression of bacterial cellulases

The economic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels requires in addition to pretreatment techniques access to large quantities of inexpensive cellulases to be competitive with established first generation processes. A solution to this problem could be achieved by plant based expression of...
