Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system, allowing substantial space, energy and chemichal products savings. Basic understanding of this processes has mainly been obtained in ...
Liquid hot water (LHW) and high-boiling point alcohol/water (HBAW) pretreatments were compared to improve enzymatic saccharification of cellulose in moso bamboo. When pretreatments were conducted at 200 degrees C for 40 min, HBAW (20% (v/v) 1,4- butanediol ...
Increase in consumption as well as depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns about the consequences of burning fossil fuels leads to search for alternative renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic biomasses are plenteous in nature and are rich in cellul ...

Current study deals with the production of cellulases and xylanases from the Rhizopus oryzae SN5 isolated from composed soil of Himalayan pine forest, in order to meet the challenges of lignocellulosic biomass based biorefineries. Culture parameters for con ...
Three distinct stages describe the technological evolution of a product over time: ferment, convergence on a dominant design and an era of incremental change. Until recently, the era of incremental change has been characterized as stable and one that invol ...
Notch signalling represents a form of cell-to-cell communication that plays a pivotal role for cellular organisation during embryonic and postnatal development, as well as in the homeostasis of adult organs and tissues. Malfunction of this signalling pathw ...
The work develops a strategy for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. In this strategy, the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions are simultaneously converted to sugars using a γ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent containing a dilute acid catal ...
Box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoparticles (snoRNPs) support 2'-O-methylation of several target RNAs. They share a common set of four core proteins (SNU13, NOP58, NOP56, and FBL) that are assembled on different guide small nucleolar RNAs. Assembly of thes ...
Enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the critical steps in depolymerizing lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars for further upgrading into fuels and/or chemicals. However, many studies still rely on empirical trends to optimize enzymatic reactions. An ...
Bien camouflés dans le paysage, les déchets issus du processus d'excavation représentent pourtant un volume considérable. Chaque année, on extrait du sol suisse 30 à 40 millions de m3 en majeure partie non valorisables. Cette matière historiquement utilisé ...
