A Simple Regeneration Process Using a CO2‐Switchable‐Polarity Solvent for Cellulose Hydrogels

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The effect of transformation of the anion chemical structure on cellulose solubility by flowing CO2 gas into aqueous pyrrolidinium hydroxide solutions was investigated. The changes in anion structure allowed for the modulation of cellulose solubility in aqueous pyrrolidinium hydroxide solutions, thus establishing a simple and safe cellulose ...

Boosting landfill gas production from lignin-containing wastes via termite hindgut microorganism. [PDF]

, 2020
Lignocellulose comprises a significant portion of municipal solid waste (MSW) - 40-70% in developed countries, including paper, wood, and yard waste. Cellulose and hemicellulose are often shielded by lignin, posing a barrier to waste decomposition and ...

Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]

, 2013
Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

Fungal-mediated consolidated bioprocessing: the potential of Fusarium oxysporum for the lignocellulosic ethanol industry

AMB Express, 2016
Microbial bioprocessing of lignocellulose to bioethanol still poses challenges in terms of substrate catabolism. The most important challenge is to overcome substrate recalcitrance and to thus reduce the number of steps needed to biorefine lignocellulose.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and
