Integrative omics analysis of the termite gut system adaptation to Miscanthus diet identifies lignocellulose degradation enzymes [PDF]

, 2020
Miscanthus sp. biomass could satisfy future biorefinery value chains. However, its use is largely untapped due to high recalcitrance. The termite and its gut microbiome are considered the most efficient lignocellulose degrading system in nature. Here, we

Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.

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 ...
