Effective management and the valorization of agro-industrial lignocellulosic feedstocks can only be realized if a versatile cellulase cocktail is developed that can release glucose at affordable cost irrespective of biomass type. In the present study the flexibility of using cellulase cocktail obtained from mutant UV-8 of Talaromyces verruculosus IIPC 324 in depolymerizing multiple agro-industrial lignocellulosic feedstocks was explored.Five different dilute acid pretreated biomasses were evaluated and cellulase loading was done at 25 mg protein/g cellulose content. After 72 h of hydrolysis at 55 °C and pH 4.5, corn cob and rice straw emerged as the easiest and toughest substrates with saccharification yield of 83.9 ± 1.17 and 35.5 ± 1.16% respectively from their cellulose fraction. Addition of PEG 6000 could retain >65% of all mono-component enzymes present in cellulase cocktail.Structural elucidation of biomasses gave an insight about key features responsible for variable recalcitrance in the different agro-industrial feedstock. Cellulose hydrolysis showed a significant negative correlation in the order of Cr I > S/G ratio > ash content. The chemical composition of lignin had a major impact on enzyme-lignin interactions. Higher H lignin content and lower S/G ratio promoted enzyme desorption, thereby increasing the likelihood of their recycling and reuse.
