Experimental Evolution of Trichoderma citrinoviride for Faster Deconstruction of Cellulose.

Engineering faster cellulose deconstruction is difficult because it is a complex, cooperative, multi-enzyme process. Here we use experimental evolution to select for populations of Trichoderma citrinoviride that deconstruct up to five-fold more cellulose. Ten replicate populations of T. citrinovirid...
