The industrial fungus Trichoderma reesei has an outstanding capability of secreting an enzyme cocktail comprising multiple plant biomass-degrading enzymes. Herein, the overexpression of XYR1, the master transactivator controlling (hemi)cellulase gene expression, was performed in T. reesei lacking four main cellulase-encoding genes. The resultant strain Δ4celOExyr1 was able to produce a dramatically different profile of secretory proteins on soluble glucose or lactose compared with that of the wild-type T. reesei. The Δ4celOExyr1 secretome included cellulases EGIII and BGLI as well as several hemicellulases and nonhydrolytic cellulose degradation-associated proteins that are not preferentially induced in the wild-type T. reesei strain. Δ4celOExyr1 produced a significant amount of α-arabinofuranosidase I on lactose, and the crude enzyme cocktail of Δ4celOExyr1 not only released a considerable quantity of glucose but also exhibited remarkable performance in the hydrolytic release of xylose, arabinose, and mannose from un-pretreated corn fiber. These results showed that the engineered T. reesei strain holds great potential for improving the saccharification efficiency of the hemicellulosic constituents within corn fiber.
