Lignocellulose represents the most abundant source of carbon in the Earth. Thus,
fraction technology of the biomass turns up as an emerging technology for the development
of biorefineries. Saccharification and fermentation processes require the
formulation of enzymatic cocktails or the development of microorganisms (naturally
or genetically modified) with the appropriate toolbox to produce a cost-effective
fermentation
technology. Therefore, the search for microorganisms capable of developing
effective cellulose hydrolysis represents one of the main challenges in this era.
Schizophyllum commune is an edible agarical with a great capability to secrete a myriad
of hydrolytic enzymes such as xylanases and endoglucanases that are expressed
in a high range of substrates. In addition, a large number of protein-coding
genes for
glycoside hydrolases, oxidoreductases like laccases (Lacs; EC 1.10.3.2), as well as
some sequences encoding for lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and
expansins-like
proteins demonstrate the potential of this fungus to be applied in different
biotechnological process. In this review, we focus on the enzymatic toolbox of
S. commune at the genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic level, as well as the requirements
to be employed for fermentable sugars production in biorefineries. At the end
the trend of its use in patent registration is also reviewed.
