Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable organic resource on Earth. It consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Microorganisms, including fungi and bacteria, are the main decomposers of lignocellulose in nature. They produce lignocellulolytic enzymes that break down these complex polysaccharides into fermentable sugars. This process has the potential to revolutionize waste management and bioconversion industries. Lignocellulolytic enzymes can be used to convert lignocellulosic waste into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. Fungi, particularly white-rot and brown-rot fungi, have been widely explored for lignocellulolytic enzyme production. Bacteria are gaining increasing attention due to their faster growth rates and ability to survive in harsh environments. Accessory proteins play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of lignocellulolytic enzymes by modifying the structure of lignocellulose, making it more susceptible to enzymatic breakdown. Continued research on optimizing enzyme production, tailoring enzyme properties, and improving conversion processes is vital for realizing the full potential of lignocellulolytic enzymes in building a sustainable bioeconomy.
