Biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass to produce bioethanol is a promising renewable energy source, but low efficiency of industrial enzymes is the current limitation. I applied an iTRAQ - based high throughput quantitative proteomics method by employing Thermobifida fusca as model organism to scre...
