Overexpression of a rice BAHD acyltransferase gene in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) enhances saccharification

BMC Biotechnology, 2018
Background Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a promising bioenergy feedstock because it can be grown on marginal land and produces abundant biomass. Recalcitrance of the lignocellulosic components of the switchgrass cell wall to enzymatic degradation ...

Acidogenic fermentation of pretreated food waste under psychrophilic conditions for volatile fatty acids production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Bioenergy siting for low-carbon electricity supply in Australia

, 2022
In the context of renewable energy (RE) generation, biomass resources are different to other renewable resources because they can be stored and transported. These characteristics make bioenergy a dispatchable renewable energy source.

Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) pulp oil ethylic biodiesel using lipase from Aspergillus oryzae: kinetic and process parameters

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a native species from Brazilian biomes, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to vegetable oil production. Its fruit presents high oil yield (3–6 ton/ha), extracted from its kernel and pulp. While the kernel is suitable for food and cosmetics application, the pulp oil has been considered as a promising ...

Unveiling opportunities and challenges for a circular approach to macaúba biorefining: a technological roadmap

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The macaúba fruit, native to tropical and subtropical regions, has received considerable attention in recent years as a promising raw material for the production of advanced biofuels in Brazil. However, the development of large‐scale biomass requires overcoming significant challenges, such as designing circular biorefineries.
