Understanding the cellulolytic system of Trichoderma harzianum P49P11 and enhancing saccharification of pretreated sugarcane bagasse by supplementation with pectinase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase

► The Amazon rainforest Trichoderma harzianum is a potential candidate for saccharification of plant biomass. ► Important roles for pectinase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase in the enzymatic synergies. ► Sugarcane bagasse hydrolysis is more effective and competitive for second generation ethanol.
