Tiivistelmä
Thermophilic fungi have attracted considerable attention in recent years as a new source of thermostable cellulases that could be used to improve various industrial processes, such as biomass degradation and biofuel production. The cloning and expression in past years of new cellulase genes from thermophilic fungi have resulted in a better understanding of cellulose degradation mechanisms in these species. In addition, structural information has provided new insights into the function and stability of thermophilic fungal cellulases. The present review is focused on recent progress in cloning, expression, regulation, and structural characterization of thermophilic fungal cellulases as well as the current research efforts to improve their properties for better use in biotechnological applications.
