Global population growth and accelerated urbanisation have resulted in massive amounts of
fossil fuel use and waste production. Because of its high energy content, pure nature, and …

Background Cellulose-degrading thermophilic anaerobic bacterium as a suitable host for
consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) has been proposed as an economically suited platform …

The discovery and characterization of bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes is a
fundamental component of biotechnology innovation, particularly for renewable fuels and …

As the human population grows on the planet so does the generation of waste and
particularly that of food waste. In order to tackle the world sustainability crisis, efforts to …

Planktonic cultures, of a rationally designed consortium, demonstrated emergent properties
that exceeded the sums of monoculture properties, including a> 200% increase in …

Background Compared to horses and ponies, donkeys have increased degradation of

Control of gene expression is fundamental to cell engineering. Here we demonstrate a set of
approaches to tune gene expression in Clostridia using the model Clostridium …

The bioconversion of lignocellulose in various industrial processes, such as biofuel
production, requires the degradation of cellulose. Actinomadura amylolytica YIM 77502T is …

The Acidobacteria phylum is a very abundant group (20–30% of microbial communities in
soil ecosystems); however, little is known about these microorganisms and their ability to …

Macroalgae (or seaweeds) are considered potential biomass feedstocks for the production
of renewable fuels and chemicals. Their sugar composition is different from that of …
