Lignin biosynthesis perturbations affect secondary cell wall composition and saccharification yield in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Second-generation biofuels are generally produced from the polysaccharides in the lignocellulosic plant biomass, mainly cellulose. However, because cellulose is embedded in a matrix of other polysaccharides and lignin, its hydrolysis into the

Hydrogen fuel production from sugarcane and its byproducts – a critical review
Abstract The transition to a low‐carbon economy has intensified the search for sustainable hydrogen (H2) production routes. Sugarcane and its byproducts, such as bagasse, molasses and vinasse, have emerged as promising feedstocks due to their ready availability and renewable nature. However, comprehensive evaluations of the efficiency, limitations, and

Saccharification of cassava starch by Saccharomycopsis fibuligera YCY1 isolated from Loog-Pang (rice cake starter) [PDF]
The main objectives of this study were to select amylolytic yeasts from Loog-Pang, a traditional starter culture for production of alcoholic foods and drinks in southern Thailand, and to optimize the saccharification of cassava starch to reducing sugar ...

Linkage Mapping of Stem Saccharification Digestibility in Rice [PDF]
Rice is the staple food of almost half of the world population, and in excess 90% of it is grown and consumed in Asia, but the disposal of rice straw poses a problem for farmers, who often burn it in the fields, causing health and environmental problems.

Abstract This study explored the valorization of two carbohydrate rich food wastes, a sugary (spoiled dates, SD) and a starchy (wasted rice, WR) one, for the biotechnological production of α‐amylase, biohydrogen (bioH2), and methane (CH4). Initially, the bioH2 and CH4 production potentials of raw SD and WR were assessed without any pretreatment, via ...

Use of inedible wheat residues from the KSC-CELSS breadboard facility for production of fungal cellulase [PDF]
Cellulose and xylan (a hemicellulose) comprise 50 percent of inedible wheat residue (which is 60 percent of total wheat biomass) produced in the Kennedy Space Center Closed Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) Breadboard Biomass Production Chamber (BPC)

Effects of pH and temperature on glucose production from tapioca starch using enzymatic hydrolysis : a statistical approach [PDF]
The aim of this study was to maximize the glucose concentration produced from enzymatic hydrolysis of tapioca starch. The tapioca starch was enzymatically hydrolyzed using α-amylase from Bacillus lichenformis followed by amyloglucosidase action from ...

Silencing CHALCONE SYNTHASE in maize impedes the incorporation of tricin into lignin and increases lignin content [PDF]
Lignin is a phenolic heteropolymer that is deposited in secondary-thickened cell walls, where it provides mechanical strength. A recent structural characterization of cell walls from monocot species showed that the flavone tricin is part of the native ...
