Molecular characterization of Portuguese populations of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus using cytochrome b and cellulase genes [PDF]
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of pine wilt disease and a worldwide pest with high economic impact. Since its first diagnosis in Portugal in 1999, it has been subjected to quarantine measures with impact on forest health and ecosystem ...

Binding prediction of multi-domain cellulases with a dual-CNN [PDF]
Cellulases hold great promise for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. However, they are modular enzymes acting on a complex heterogeneous substrate. Because of this complexity, the computational prediction of their catalytic properties remains scarce, which restricts both enzyme discovery and enzyme design.

A novel enzymatic approach to nanocrystalline cellulose preparation [PDF]
In this work, conditions for an enzymatic pretreatment prior to NCC isolation from cotton linter were assessed. Different cellulase doses and reaction times were studied within an experimental design and NCC were obtained. At optimal enzymatic conditions

Valorization of byproducts of hemp multipurpose crops: short non-aligned bast fibers as a source of nanocellulose [PDF]
Nanocellulose was extracted from short bast fibers, from hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) plants harvested at seed maturity, non-retted, mechanically decorticated in a defibering apparatus giving non-aligned fibers. A chemical pretreatment with NaOH and HCl allowed the removal of most of the non-cellulosic components of the fibers. No bleaching was performed.
