BACKGROUND The soft rot ascomycetal fungus Trichoderma reesei is utilized for industrial production of secreted enzymes, especially lignocellulose degrading enzymes. T. reesei uses several different enzymes for the degradation of plant cell wall-derived material, including 9 characterized cellulases, 15 characterized hemicellulases and at least 42 genes predicted to encode cellulolytic or hemic...

BACKGROUND Trichoderma reesei, a mitosporic green mould, was recognized during the WW II based on a single isolate from the Solomon Islands and since then used in industry for production of cellulases. It is believed to be an anamorph (asexual stage) of the common pantropical ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We combined molecular evolutionary analysis and multiple ...

The Trichoderma genus is well known as one of the most valuable biological control agents against several phytopathogens used in different plant species. Managing phytopathogenic fungi using through various associated antifungal mechanisms a sustainable and eco-friendly strategy that reduces harmful presence pathogens soil, roots aerial parts plants. However, biocontrol combined with chemical p...

sugar beet pulp is one of the sugar industries by-products which can be used for cellulase enzyme production, enzymatic saccharification, and alcohol production due to its high percentage of lingo-cellulosic content. trichoderma spp. is an important fungus that produces a wide range of cellulytic enzymes. in this study, cellulase enzyme was produced by placing sugar beet pulp in trichoderma fer...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Epoxide hydrolase of Trichoderma reesei: Biochemical properties and conformational characterization" [1]. Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of epoxides to the corresponding vicinal diols. This article describes the optimal parameters for the colorimetric red assay to determine the en...

The fungus, Trichoderma reesei NCIM 1052 was used for the production of extra cellular amylase on agricultural residues viz. Soy cake, Wheat bran, Rice bran and Ragi (Eleusine corocana Gaertn.) in solid state fermentation (SSF). Maximum enzyme activity (324.45 IU g-1) was obtained in a medium having Soy cake as the substrate, moisture level 1:1 (distilled water) and incubation for 72 hours with...
