Characterization of a novel sugar transporter involved in sugarcane bagasse degradation in Trichoderma reesei.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Enzymatic degradation of plant biomass requires a complex mixture of many different enzymes. Like most fungi, thermophilic Myceliophthora species therefore have a large set of enzymes targeting different linkages in plant polysaccharides. The majority of these enzymes have not been functionally characterized...
