High throughput nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry screening of microbial growth conditions for maximal β-glucosidase production

Production of biofuels via enzymatic hydrolysis of complex plant polysaccharides is a subject of intense global interest. Microbial communities are known to express a wide range of enzymes necessary for the saccharification of lignocellulosic feedstocks and serve as a powerful reservoir for enzyme d...
