Many industrial processes employ natural enzymes, some of them isolated from organisms that live in extreme environments, such as hot springs. However, many of these enzymes are not optimized for industrial processes. Hence the need to look in extreme environments for better enzymes. Graham, Melinda E. Clark, Dana C.

Thus lignin binds exactly where it is least desired for industrial purposes. During pretreatment, acid, water, and heat work to remove non-cellulosic biomass from plant material. To model this crowded environment accurately, Smith’s team used experimental data to create a representative sample of pretreated biomass and enzymes.
