Research advances on the consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass [PDF]
Engineering MicrobiologyLignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable bioresource for the production of biofuels and biochemical products. The classical biorefinery process for lignocellulosic degradation and conversion comprises three stages, i.e., pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and fermentation.

Designing thermophilic, synthetic microbial communities for consolidated bioprocessing [PDF]
BioDesign ResearchLignocellulose-derived fuels and chemicals are vital to breaking the world's dependence on fossil fuels. Though plant biomass is notoriously resistant to deconstruction, lignocellulolytic thermophiles are especially adept at degrading its constituent polysaccharides into mono- and oligo-saccharides for catabolism.

Consolidated bioprocessing for bioethanol production by metabolically engineered Bacillus subtilis strains [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractBioethanol produced by fermentative microorganisms is regarded as an alternative to fossil fuel. Bioethanol to be used as a viable energy source must be produced cost-effectively by removing expense-intensive steps such as the enzymatic hydrolysis of substrate.

Consolidated bioprocessing for butanol production of cellulolytic Clostridia: development and optimization [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2019 Summary Butanol is an important bulk chemical, as well as a promising renewable gasoline substitute, that is commonly produced by solventogenic Clostridia. The main cost of cellulosic butanol fermentation is caused by cellulases that are required to saccharify lignocellulose, since solventogenic Clostridia cannot ...

Challenges in ethanol production withFusarium oxysporumthrough consolidated bioprocessing [PDF]
Bioengineered, 2014 Fusarium oxysporum has been reported as being able to both produce the enzymes necessary to degrade lignocellulosic biomass to sugars and also ferment the monosaccharides to ethanol under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions. However, in order to become an economically feasible alternative to other ethanol-producing microorganisms, a better ...

Characterizing metabolic interactions in a clostridial co-culture for consolidated bioprocessing [PDF]
BMC Biotechnology, 2013 Clostridial co-culture containing cellulolytic and solventogenic species is a potential consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) approach for producing biochemicals and biofuels from cellulosic biomass. It has been demonstrated that the rate of cellulose utilization in the co-culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium cellulolyticum is improved ...

Consolidated bioprocessing of transgenic switchgrass by an engineered and evolved Clostridium thermocellumstrain [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2014 Switchgrass is an abundant and dedicated bioenergy feedstock, however its inherent recalcitrance is one of the economic hurdles for producing biofuels. The downregulation of the caffeic acid O-methyl transferase (COMT) gene in the lignin pathway of switchgrass reduced lignin content and S/G ratio, and the transgenic lines showed improved fermentation ...

Consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulose by a microbial consortium
Energy & Environmental Science, 2014 Lignocellulosic biomass is uniquely suited as a sustainable feedstock for the biotechnological production of alternative fuels and chemicals. However, due to the biomass recalcitrance, the enzymatic conversion process is complex and needs to be simplified.
