SOFT BIOMASS DECOMPOSITION METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a soft biomass decomposition method, a method for preparing a target substance from soft biomass, and an enzyme or enzymes for the decomposition of soft biomass. The provided soft biomass decomposition method includes a step in which an enzyme selected from among specific exocellulases, endocellulases and processive endocellulases is brought into contact with a soft biomass such as bagasse or rice straw. The provided method for producing a target substance from biomass includes the soft biomass decomposition method as a step. The provided enzyme or enzymes for decomposing biomass is/are selected from among specific exocellulases, endocellulases and processive endocellulases.
