Enhanced biohydrogen production and substrate utilization by co-culture fermentation with reduced extracellular electron shuttles
… applied to ferment complex substrates from hydrolysates of lignocellulosic biomass as well as to utilize compounds including indigo dye, juglone, lawsone, fulvic acids and humic acids as alternative extracellular electron shuttles. The observed improvements in utilization of lignocellulosic …

Characterization and engineering of sugar transporters in the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus for biotechnological applications
Sustainable and efficient use of lignocellulosic hydrolysates in yeast-based biorefineries requires the simultaneous consumption of all the sugars present in this raw material, hexoses and pentoses. This represents a key bottleneck because of the low number of specific pentose transporters …

Design of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain capable of simultaneously utilizing cellobiose and xylose
… efficient ethanol production because glucose in lignocellulosic hydrolysates inhibits xylose and other sugars’ utilization. As a result, it is attractive to construct a glucose derepressed S. cerevisiae strain for efficient utilization of lignocellulosic sugars. In this thesis, we proposed and …

Engineering Zymomonas mobilis for the production of biofuels and other value-added products
Zymomonas mobilis is a promising organism for lignocellulosic biofuel production as it can efficiently produce ethanol from simple sugars using unique metabolic pathways. Z. mobilis displays what is known as the “uncoupled growth” phenomenon, meaning cells will rapidly convert sugars to ethanol …

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 …
