AA16, a new lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase family identified in fungal secretomes

Abstract

Although <i>Aspergillus</i> spp. has been investigated for decades for their CAZymes diversity, we identified members of a new fungal LPMO family using secretomics and functional assays. Properties of the founding member of the AA16 family characterized herein could be of interest for use in biorefineries.
