Thermostable recombinant xylanases from <it>Nonomuraea flexuosa </it>and <it>Thermoascus aurantiacus </it>show distinct properties in the hydrolysis of xylans and pretreated wheat straw

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, thermostable enzymes decrease the amount of enzyme needed due to higher specific activity and elongate the hydrolysis time due to improved stability. For cost-efficient use of enzymes i...
