The hemicellulosic fraction recovery is of interest for integrated processes in biorefineries,
considering the possibility of high economic value products produced from their structural …

Despite a steady decline in fossil resources in past few decades, demand for petroleum-
based chemicals and polymers has increased sharply. As the dead end of the petroleum …

The conventional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is the most studied yeast and has been
used in many important industrial productions, especially in bioethanol production from first …

Background Heavy usage of gasoline, burgeoning fuel prices, and environmental issues
have paved the way for the exploration of cellulosic ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol production …

Background The production of ethanol and other fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic
materials is dependent of efficient xylose conversion. Xylose fermentation capacity in yeasts …

Xylose is the second most abundant monomeric sugar in plant biomass. Consequently,
xylose catabolism is an ecologically important trait for saprotrophic organisms, as well as a …

The effective fermentation of xylose remains an intractable challenge in bioethanol industry.
The relevant xylanase enzyme is also in a high demand from industry for several …

A multi-scale study of sugarcane bagasse (SB) pretreatments and integrated developments
for use of its carbohydrates portions for ethanol and xylitol production, are presented. In a …

Lignocellulose, the main component of plant cell walls, comprises polyaromatic lignin and
fermentable materials, cellulose and hemicellulose. It is a plentiful and renewable feedstock …

Pentose sugars are widespread in nature and two of them, D-xylose and L-arabinose
belong to the most abundant sugars being the second and third by abundance sugars in dry …
