The Significance of Trichoderma reesei in Research

Abstract

Cellulase in Trichoderma reesi is known to be scarce in its beta-glucosidase and its cellobiohydrolase II. This leads to hindrance of energy combinations of components derived from cellulase. Trichoderma reesi has been engineered to enable an enhancement of cellobiohydrolase II and the production of cellulase. Even though these developments were made, T. reesi is still lacking high numbers of beta-glucosidase. Aspergillus niger was then acquainted with T. reesi to enable and improve the production of cellulase and increase the performance of enzymic hydrolysis.
