Corn stover-enhanced cellulase production by Aspergillus niger NRRL 567 [PDF]

, 2013
The production of extracellular cellulases by Aspergilus niger NRRL 567 on corn stover was studied in liquid state fermentation. In this study, three cellulases, exoglucanase (EXG), endoglucanase (EG) and β-glucosidase (BGL) were produced by A.

The Dynamic Impact of the Energy Transition on Food Security in Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the context of persistent food insecurity and the global push for the transition toward clean energy in developing countries, understanding the association between clean energy access and food affordability is increasingly important to inform multisectoral policy interventions. Against this background, this study explores the dynamic impact

Contracts and Ownership Structures in the Bioeconomy: A Review of Their Design and Role in Innovation

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contracts and ownership structures play a critical role in fostering innovation in the bioeconomy. However, identifying which designs best promote bioresource circularity and collaboration remains challenging, as existing studies use diverse frameworks and are often limited to specific contexts or regions.

Influence of Epiphytic Microorganisms on Silage Quality and Aerobic Exposure Characteristics of Grass Pastures

Agriculture
In this study, we investigated whether epiphytic microorganisms of fresh forage affect silage quality and aerobic exposure of silage by determining the changes in chemical composition, fermentation characteristics and microbial population of two grass ...

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Effects of water content on ball milling pretreatment and the enzymatic digestibility of corn stover

Water-Energy Nexus, 2018
Lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment is a key step to determine the efficacy of biofuel production because of the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic feedstock.

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign
