Xylanase and β-xylosidase production by Aspergillus ochraceus: new perspectives for the application of wheat straw autohydrolysis liquor [PDF]
The xylanase biosynthesis is induced by its substrate—xylan. The high xylan content in some wastes such as wheat residues (wheat bran and wheat straw) makes them accessible and cheap sources of inducers to be mainly applied in great volumes of ...

Synergies in Self‐Assembly—From Supramolecular Polymers to Defined Hierarchical Superstructures
Shaping supramolecular polymers built from molecular building blocks into superstructures with defined dimensions. Synergies within supramolecular architectures such as chirality or an additional second orthogonal driving force that does not interfere with the central supramolecular motif facilitate the confinement of the growth of these ...

Background Cellulose and hemicellulose are the two largest components in lignocellulosic biomass. Enzymes with activities towards cellulose and xylan have attracted great interest in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass, since they have potential

ABSTRACT Expansins loosen plant cell wall networks through disrupting non‐covalent bonds between cellulose microfibrils and matrix polysaccharides. Whereas expansins were first discovered in plants, expansin‐related proteins have since been identified in bacteria and fungi.

ABSTRACT Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a non‐destructive method, is capable of measuring changes in the major wood components cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin during degradation. Previous research evaluated the application of supervised machine learning based on molecular decay over specific preservation conditions, achieving a ...

Evaluation of kraft cooking behaviour for six different softwoods species [PDF]
The main goal of this paper is to observe de differences of behaviour between six softwoods species during the kraft cooking sequence, knowing that morphological, physicochemical and hygroscopic characters are different.

Cellulosic materials as biopolymers and supercritical CO2as a green process: chemistry and applications [PDF]
In this review, we describe the use of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) in several cellulose applications. The focus is on different technologies that either exist or are expected to emerge in the near future.

ABSTRACT Rationale Hemicelluloses are abundant carbohydrate components in plant cell walls. They play a crucial structural role in binding cellulose microfibrils, in addition to other biological functions. Their high structural variability directly influences their biological properties, making it important to establish a structure–function ...

Biochemical Aspects of Non-Starch Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are macromolecules of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are principally non-α-glucan polysaccharides of the plant cell wall. They are a heterogeneous group of polysaccharides with varying degrees
