Selective Transfer Hydrogenation of Furfural to Isopropyl Levulinate: An In Situ One‐Pot Cascade Approach

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
In this article, we applied a combination of metal (0.5 mol%) and acid (1 mol%) that functioned harmoniously to selectively convert a bio‐based starting material, furfural, into small oxygenates. We used a transfer hydrogenation reaction with isopropanol acting as both the reducing agent and the reaction medium. Isopropyl levulinate, a key intermediate

Involvement of the intracellular β-glucosidase BGL1B from Aspergillus niger in the regulation of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes’ synthesis

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Aspergillus niger is an important lignocellulose-degrading enzyme-producing strain. Multiple regulatory factors regulate the synthesis of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in A. niger. We previously found that A.

Sustainable and cost‐effective process design for energy‐self‐sufficient ethyl lactate production from sugar mill feedstocks: a techno‐economic approach

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 487-507, March/April 2026.
Abstract Bio‐based ethyl lactate (EL) can replace several fossil‐derived products owing to its low toxicity, high solvent functionality, and environmental advantages. This study assesses the techno‐economic viability and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction potential of producing EL from sugarcane A‐molasses and lignocelluloses in an energy self‐sufficient ...

Process development priorities for scaling up direct microbial conversion of sugars into value‐added biochemicals

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 747-765, March/April 2026.
Abstract The study identified process development priorities toward the feasible production of five value‐added biochemicals in a sugarcane biorefinery based on achievable bioconversion performances. Multiple process scenarios using A‐molasses as feedstock were simulated in Aspen Plus® via direct microbial conversions.

Occurrence of Priming in the Degradation of Lignocellulose in Marine Sediments.

PLoS ONE, 2015
More than 50% of terrestrially-derived organic carbon (terrOC) flux from the continents to the ocean is remineralised in the coastal zone despite its perceived high refractivity.

Carbon‐based materials from renewable sources: Challenges and perspectives with a focus on green coconut

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 477-493, March 2026.
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of agricultural production, biomass generation, and its transformation into biochar, with a particular emphasis on green coconut waste as a primary resource. It underscores the link between agriculture and substantial biomass output, shedding light on the ecological issues associated with solid

Mechanistic two‐pathway modeling of substrate inhibition in lactic acid bacteria for enhanced fermentation control

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Substrate inhibition in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation occurs when substrate concentration exceeds a critical value, leading to reduced cell growth and thus inefficient lactic acid production. Many efforts, including experimental and kinetic models, have been devoted to elucidate the possible mechanisms of substrate inhibition ...

Reduced Tillage Intercropping With Thymus hyemalis Reshapes the Rare Soil Microbiome and Co‐Occurrence Networks in a Semi‐Arid Almond Orchard

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmentally friendly farming practices are gaining interest, and intercropping is a promising option to protect soil health, yet its effects on orchard microbiomes and functions remain underexplored. In this study, we assessed a 3‐year intercropping assay of Capparis spinosa (D1) and Thymus hyemalis (D2) with almond and reduced tillage in ...
