Why Modify the Cell Wall?
• We are running out of unsustainable fuel sources
• Plant cell wall contains “locked up” source of carbon

Composition of Plant Cell Wall
• 3 layers • Middle Lamella (outermost from cytoplasm;
connects cells); made of pectin• Primary; made of pectin, cellulose,
hemicellulose, proteins• Secondary; made of cellulose, hemicellulose,
lignin (only in mature cells)

Biomass Production
![Page 13: Plant Cell Wall Mod](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022082207/589f8c341a28ab1b198b4847/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Yeast Fermentation

Perfect Biomass Plant?
• High Cellulose content
• Low lignin content
• Low ash content (unusable inorganics)

First/Second Generation Biofuel
• 1st = using edible sugars (sucrose) from food crops for fuel production
• 2nd = using non-edible, structural polysaccharides for fuel production
![Page 17: Plant Cell Wall Mod](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022082207/589f8c341a28ab1b198b4847/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2nd Generation Biofuels
• 1.5 billion tons of unused plant material each year
• Is estimated to be equivalent to total oil imports (442 billion liters of EtOH)
![Page 18: Plant Cell Wall Mod](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022082207/589f8c341a28ab1b198b4847/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Acid Growth – Natural Cell Wall Modification
• Mediated by auxin (cell elongation)
• Physical teasing apart of cell wall
• Expansins, endoglucanases spread apart and degrade parts

Enhance Efficiency of Reclaim for Ethanol
• Increase cellulose/cell wall density
• Remove unwanteds (hemicellulose, lignin)
• Incorporate soluble monomers (makes processing easier)
• Utilize glucanases (increases growth)
• Destroy lignin-cellulose bonds (decreases lignin)

Chloroplast-Derived Enzyme Cocktail
• One team inserted:• Endo/exoglucanase or lipase from bacteria• Pectate Lyases• Cutinase• Endoglucanases• Swollenin• Xylanase• Acetyl Xylan Esterase• Beta glucosidase
![Page 23: Plant Cell Wall Mod](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022082207/589f8c341a28ab1b198b4847/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“Recalcitrance of Lignocellulosic Material”
• Cellulose evolved to be tough
• Microbes are the main cell wall metabolizers (bacteria, fungi)
• Endoglucanases also found in guts of termites, cockraoches, grass carps, blue mussel
