Lignocellulose, the leading bio-residue from agricultural
sector is the predominant renewable biopolymer in the
world which comprises of celluloses, hemicelluloses and
lignin. A promising strategy for the efficient utilization
of this renewable resource is to use it as a base material
for the production of desired metabolites. Apart from the
