Engineering Zymomonas mobilis for efficient fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks
… the commercial production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks due to its high ethanol productivity. Z. mobilis has been engineered to ferment all of the sugars present in cellulosic biomass, but the digestion of five carbon sugars by the strain is still slow and inefficient. The …

Engineering and evaluation of yeast strains for the production of lactic acid from cellulosic sugars
Terrestrial biomass consists largely of lignocellulosic materials. Abundant in nature, lignocellulosic biomass can be cultivated easily on land otherwise unsuitable for traditional crops or be harvested from crop waste, such as corn stover. After pretreatment and hydrolysis, the lignocellulosic …

Lignocellulosic fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce medium chain fatty alcohols
… corn or sugar cane are currently common, these feedstocks compete with food supply and require nutrient-rich soils. The use of lignocellulosic feedstocks is preferred to combat this issue, however these feedstocks present their own unique challenges. Pretreatment is required to release …

Biological Strategies and Mathematical Approaches for Limiting Bacterial Contaminants and Chemical pollutants In Bioethanol Fermentations
… derived from corn has become one of the primary feedstocks for bioethanol production for the past several years in the U.S. However, the argument of whether to use food as biofuel has led to a search for alternative non-food sources. Consequently, industrial research efforts have become more …

Understanding the Relative Importance of the Effects of Soluble and Insoluble Inhibitors on the Enzyme Digestibility of Steam Pretreated Radiata Pine
Lignocellulosic biomass use is one of the keys to growth and development of future biofuels and biochemicals. Amongst the lignocellulosic feedstocks, softwoods are particularly attractive as they have the potential to produce high sugar yields and are prevalent in many forests globally, currently …

Metabolic engineering of yeast for xylose uptake and fermentation
… pentose and the second most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic feedstocks. Therefore, the efficient utilization of xylose is required for the cost-effective bioconversion of lignocellulose. Rational and combinatorial metabolic engineering approaches coupled with transcriptomic and proteomic …

Dissecting key biomass traits through traditional QTL mapping, exploring novel functional genomics approaches, and investigating self-incompatibility in Miscanthus
… on food prices. For this reason, dedicated lignocellulosic crops and the technology to efficiently produce ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks have moved into focus. Miscanthus, a genus of perennial grasses that can produce high yields in temperate environments, has been identified as a …

Application of physicochemical and biological pretreatments to enhance volatile fatty acids production via Dark Fermentation from agri-food waste
… and Total Reducing Sugars (TRS) from the four feedstocks. Optimized HTP conditions were critically assessed to determine the optimal reaction time necessary to maximize (H2)production from the lignocellulosic feedstocks. This research conclusively demonstrated that combining these tailored …

Understanding the Impacts of Ammonia Fiber Expansion (AFEX™) Pretreatment and Densification on Densified Products Quality and the Bioproducts Yield Through Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Fast Pyrolysis
<p>Lignocellulosic biomass poses significant challenges during handling, transportation, and storage due to its low bulk density. Densification involves conversion of the low bulk density biomass into a highly compacted product which helps in improving the handling, transporting, and storage …
