Enzymes from Fungus: Breaking Down Plant Material Efficiently
Scientists have found two special enzymes from a fungus that can help break down plant material. These enzymes, called α-L-Arabinofuranosidases (ABFs), are important because they remove arabinose, a type of sugar, from plant fibers. This makes it easier for other enzymes to break down the plant material further. The enzymes, named TsAbf62A and TsAbf62B, were taken f...
