Trichoderma erinaceum secretome

Trichoderma erinaceum secretome The use of lignocellulosic biomass is something that has been encouraged considering the search for sustainable alternatives mainly in the energy sector. However, to use such biomass as feedstock, its degradation is necessary aiming the formation of sugars that could be used in fermentation. For this conversion, enzymatic cocktails with degradative capacity are used, which are normally composed for the of filamentous fungi secretomes. The present work presents the characterization of Trichoderma erinaceum aiming at its use as a producer of lignocellulolytic enzymes. Cultivations were conducted using Mandels-Andreotti media enriched with four different carbon sources (glucose, avicel, pretreated sugarcane straw, or energy cane bagasse) in different time points (72h, 96h, 120h, 144h), and the supernatants were analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine the various patterns of enzyme secretion resulting from the modification of components within the media.
