Enzyme Activities of Five White-Rot Fungi in the Presence of Nanocellulose

Journal of Fungi, 2021
White-rot fungi can degrade all lignocellulose components due to their potent lignin and cellulose-degrading enzymes. In this study, five white-rot fungi, Trametes versicolor, Trametes pubescens, Ganoderma adspersum, Ganoderma lipsiense, and Rigidoporus ...

Integrated Approach for Bioethanol and Paper Production using Populus deltoides Wood Biomass: An Experimental Study

AgroEnvironmental Sustainability, 2023
Lignocellulosic materials contain two major sugar macromolecules, cellulose and hemicellulose, and polyphenolic lignin. During pulping, lignin and hemicellulose are broken down into smaller molecules such as organic acids, and removed in the black ...
