Direct Conversion of Minimally Pretreated Corncob by Enzyme-Intensified Microbial Consortia
AgricultureThe presence of diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) is crucial for the direct bioconversion of lignocellulose. In this study, various anaerobic microbial consortia were employed for the degradation of 10 g/L of minimally pretreated corncob. The

Ensiling and Fermentation of Rice Hulls With Ruminal Fluid for Medium‐Chain Carboxylate Production
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large quantities of rice hulls are common at milling sites in Nigeria. They are a by‐product of rice processing and can contribute to environmental degradation if not properly managed. In this study, rice hulls were pretreated by ensiling at ambient temperature and then used as substrate for medium‐chain carboxylates (MCCs) production ...
