Lignin Degradation by Klebsiella aerogenes TL3 under Anaerobic Conditions
MoleculesLignin, the largest non-carbohydrate component of lignocellulosic biomass, is also a recalcitrant component of the plant cell wall. While the aerobic degradation mechanism of lignin has been well-documented, the anaerobic degradation mechanism is still ...

A practical electrodialysis model for accelerating system development
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Empirical optimization of electrodialysis (ED) is dependent on repetitive experiments with incremental adjustments, which is cost prohibitive at scale. While models can reduce the costs associated with optimization and scale‐up, existing ED models are limited in application to specific use cases and tend to be developed for the exploration of ...

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...
