Background: Overcoming the biomass recalcitrance is essential for efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass in industrial bio-refining. White-rot fungi can overcome the biomass recalcitrance and accelerate the conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels via a large number of special extracellular lignocellulolytic enzymes. Previous studies try to dissect the function of extracellular enzymes on biomass resistant cross-linked structures by secretome analysis, but the bio-alteration of cross-linked structures is ignored usually. A deeper and detailed understanding of relationship between secretome and bio-alteration of cross-linked structure in lignocellulosic biomass is still lack. Results: As an efficient wood-decaying fungus, Echinodontium taxodii could improve the conversion efficiency of lignocellulose to biofuels. This study coupled comparative analysis of fungal secretomes and 2D HSQC NMR analysis of lignocellulose fractions, aiming to elucidate the role of extracellular enzymes from Echinodontium taxodii 2538 in the disruption of resistant cross-linked structure of bamboo culms. Carboxylesterases, alcohol oxidases and Class-II peroxidases showed importance in the cleavage of cross-linked structures, including ester and ether linkages of lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) and inter-unit linkages of lignin, which contributed to biomass resistance removal and cellulose exposure during the early stage of fungal decay. Moreover, the rapid oxidation of Cα-OH was found to contribute to the lignin bio-depolymerization. Conclusions: These findings revealed the detailed mechanisms of biomass recalcitrance reduction by fungal pretreatment, and provide insight into efficient strategy of lignocellulose conversion. It will advance the development in design of enzyme cocktail for efficient lignocellulose bio-refinery.
