Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade D-xylose and D-arabinose are yet to be produced as commodity chemicals. Res ...
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 ...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the combination of steam pretreatment and biological treatment with lignin degrading fungal strains in order to enable efficient bioprocessing of beech wood to ethanol. In a sequential process of steam and fu ...
Petroleum reservoir is an ecosystem having extreme environmental conditions of temperature, pressure and salinity. They possess highly anoxic conditions. Major microbial communities present in this environment include fermentative bacteria, sulphate reduci ...
Microbes have successfully colonized the deep subsurface, thanks to their small size and their diverse metabolic activities. This part of the biosphere remains a terra incognita for microbiologists, containing innumerable unknown microbial species and proc ...
Green house gas emissions, the depleting of non-renewable resources, and poor waste management have a detrimental environmental and socioeconomic impact. Consequantly, the development of alternative processes that alleviate these problems is imperative. Ap ...
Petroleum is produced by thermal decay of buried organic material over millions of years. Petroleum oilfield ecosystems represent resource of reduced carbon which favours microbial growth. Therefore, it is obvious that many microorganisms have adapted to h ...
The sugarcane sector in Brazil has undergone a major modernization in the last thirty years. Embracing the biorefinery concept, this sector is investigating bioproduct diversification and mostly putting a lot of effort and investment on second generation e ...
The present study evaluates a sugarcane biorefinery producing ethanol through juice fermentation and methanol via gasification of sugarcane lignocellulosic residues and liquid fuel synthesis. Two technologies of gasification named entrained flow and circul ...
Lactic acid (LA) is considered for the diversification and value addition to sugar industry in South Africa, through a bioconversion of sugarcane bagasse and leaves. A bioconversion process was modeled in Aspen Plus (R) V8.6 and its environmental impacts w ...
