The lignocellulose network in plant cell walls consists of polymeric compounds – cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Basidiomycete fungi are the only organisms that efficiently modify and degrade all these polymers, mainly by producing extracellular enzymes. In this project, regulation of the plant biomass degradation process in basidiomycete fungi will be investigated at the molecular level. The results will promote the exploitation of fungal enzymes in biotechnological applications, which use plant biomass as a raw material.
