Transgenic plant-produced hydrolytic enzymes and the potential of insect gut-derived hydrolases for biofuels
Various perennial C4 grass species have tremendous potential for use as lignocellulosic biofuel feedstocks. Currently available grasses require costly pre-treatment and exogenous hydrolytic enzyme application to break down complex cell wall polymers into sugars that can then be fermented into ethan...
