Abstract
The degradation of wood is a highly complex process involving the
activities of several different microbes. It has been explored through research that
microorganisms have developed various strategies (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) to
utilize wood. In the present article, we are presenting the enzymes that originated from
fungi and bacteria and their reactions to decomposing wood. Analysis of enzymes
involved in wood degradation will not only be helpful in the study of the wood
degradation process but also provide information about various ecological niches of the
microorganisms. Genomic and secretome data have revealed the importance of the
enzymes secreted by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria in wood degradation in
ecological niches.
