Actinobacteria: A Promising Source of Enzymes Involved in Lignocellulosic Biomass Conversion

Lignocellulosic materials are the most abundant and bio-renewable biomass on Earth, However, the breakdown of their major components (Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) requires the actions of different types of lignocellulolytic enzymes.Actually, several studies report that bacterial species belonging to Actinobacteria are able to produce a wide array of valuable enzymes implicated in biomass decomposition.In this mini-review, we attempt to provide an overview of the actinobacterial enzymes mainly involved in biomass conversion.
