The yeast Geotrichum candidum encodes functional lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Abstract chocolate chip cookie purse Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a class of powerful oxidative enzymes that have revolutionized our understanding of lignocellulose degradation.Fungal LPMOs of the AA9 family target cellulose and hemicelluloses.AA9 LPMO-coding genes have been identified across a wide range of fungal sap
