Insect‐Microbe‐Based Laccase: Untapped Natural Resource for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Biodiesel Production from Non-Edible Beauty Leaf (Calophyllum inophyllum) Oil: Process Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

Energies, 2014
In recent years, the beauty leaf plant (Calophyllum Inophyllum) is being considered as a potential 2nd generation biodiesel source due to high seed oil content, high fruit production rate, simple cultivation and ability to grow in a wide range of climate

Implications of the Biofuels Boom for the Global Livestock Industry: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis [PDF]

In this paper, we offer a general equilibrium analysis of the impacts of US and EU biofuel mandates for the global livestock sector. Our simulation boosts biofuel production in the US and EU from 2006 levels to mandated 2015 levels. We show that mandates

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Wood‐Based Composites: Integrating Circuits in Bioderived Furniture

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study investigates fully bioderived wood panels made with resin from Jatropha curcas L., onto which conductive laser‐induced graphene (LIG) tracks are directly scribed. The findings obtained on functional circuits ‐ including LEDs and humidity sensors ‐ showcase the viability of combining LIG with renewable substrates for potentially sustainable ...

Reconstruction of a genome-scale metabolic model and in-silico flux analysis of Aspergillus tubingensis: a non-mycotoxinogenic citric acid-producing fungus

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Aspergillus tubingensis is a citric acid-producing fungus that can utilize sugars in hydrolysate of lignocellulosic biomass such as sugarcane bagasse and, unlike A. niger, does not produce mycotoxins. To date, no attempt has been made to model

Biofuels: Political/Economic Boondoggle or Energy Salvation for Western States? [PDF]

Nearly all western states lack comparative advantages for producing corn for ethanol and oilseeds for biodiesel. Despite this disadvantage, most western states have legislated incentives for production of biofuels.

The ethics of biofuels [PDF]

GCB Bioenergy, 2011
The rapid development and adoption of biofuels has been driven by a wide range of targets and other policy instruments, but first-generation biofuels have been widely criticized. In light of the development of new biofuel technologies that aim to avoid the problems of the past, the Nuffield Council on Bioethics conducted an 18-month inquiry on the ...
