- 1From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In the present study, three ionic liquids, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]OAc), and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate...
- 2From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Enzymatic hydrolysis, the rate limiting step in the process development for biofuel, is always hampered by its low sugar concentration. High solid enzymatic saccharification could solve this problem but...
- 3From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Presently, different studies are conducted related to the topic of biomass potential to generate through anaerobic fermentation process alternative fuels supposed to support the existing fossil fuel...
- 4From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Effective pretreatment is key to achieving high enzymatic saccharification efficiency in processing lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars, biofuels and value-added products. Ionic liquids (ILs),...
- 5From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Fungi are important players in the turnover of plant biomass because they produce a broad range of degradative enzymes. Aspergillus nidulans, a well-studied saprophyte and close homologue to industrially...
- 6From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Second generation hydrogen fermentation technologies using organic agricultural and forestry wastes are emerging. The efficient microbial fermentation of hexoses and pentoses resulting from the...
- 7From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground A previously developed mathematical model of low solids thermophilic simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (tSSF) with Avicel was unable to predict performance at high solids using a commercial...
- 8From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to drop in fuel molecules in a single biological system can be achieved from fatty acid-based biofuels such as fatty alcohols and alkanes. These...
- 9From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bioethanol produced from the lignocellulosic fractions of sugar cane (bagasse and leaves), i.e. second generation (2G) bioethanol, has a promising market potential as an automotive fuel; however, the...
- 10From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground A common trend in the research on 2.sup.nd generation bioethanol is the focus on intensifying the process and increasing the concentration of water insoluble solids (WIS) throughout the process. However,...
- 11From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground An efficient hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates to soluble sugars for biofuel production necessitates the interplay and synergistic interaction of multiple enzymes. An optimized enzyme mixture is...

Comparative study of sulfite pretreatments for robust enzymatic saccharification of corn cob residue
Background Corn cob residue (CCR) is a kind of waste lignocellulosic material with enormous potential for bioethanol production. The moderated sulphite processes were used to enhance the hydrophily of the material by... - 13From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground The model bacterium Clostridium cellulolyticum efficiently degrades crystalline cellulose and hemicellulose, using cellulosomes to degrade lignocellulosic biomass. Although it imports and ferments both...
- 14From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground While the ethanol production from biomass by consolidated bioprocess (CBP) is considered to be the most ideal process, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is the most appropriate strategy...
- 15From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe economic and environmental viability of dedicated terrestrial energy crops is in doubt. The production of large scale biomass (macroalgae) for biofuels in the marine environment was first tested in the late 1960's....
- 16From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic plant biomass into fermentable sugars is a crucial step in the sustainable and environmentally friendly production of biofuels. However, a major drawback of...
- 17From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cost-efficient generation of second-generation biofuels requires plant biomass that can easily be degraded into sugars and further fermented into fuels. However, lignocellulosic biomass is inherently...
- 18From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Our companion paper discussed the yield benefits achieved by integrating deacetylation, mechanical refining, and washing with low acid and low temperature pretreatment. To evaluate the impact of the...
- 19From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Dilute acid pretreatment is a promising pretreatment technology for the biochemical production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. During dilute acid pretreatment, xylan depolymerizes to form soluble...
- 20From: Biotechnology for Biofuels. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Jatropha curcas is recognized as a new energy crop due to the presence of the high amount of oil in its seeds that can be converted into biodiesel. The quality and performance of the biodiesel depends on...
