The demand for fossil derivate fuels and chemicals has increased, augmenting concerns on
climate change, global economic stability, and sustainability on fossil resources. Therefore …

Economic growth and industrial energy demand necessitate sustainable energy resources.
The food vs. fuel issue means that first generation biofuels appear unsustainable. Therefore …

Abstract The biotechnological production of 2, 3‐butanediol (2, 3‐BDO) has economic and
environmental advantages over the chemical route, although its large‐scale implementation …

Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-
arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade …

Municipal solid waste is an environmental threat worldwide; however, the organic fraction of
municipal solid waste (OF-MSW) has a great potential for the generation of fuels and high …

This review covers the operating conditions for extracting top value-added chemicals, such
as levulinic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, vanillic acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, xylitol, 2, 5 …

Anaerobic digestion, an attractive process for generation of hydrogen, involves complex
microbial processes on decomposition of waste biomass. Here, efficient biohydrogen …

Effective utilization of cellulose and hemicelluloses is essential to sustainable bioconversion
of lignocellulose. A newly isolated xylose-utilizing strain, Klebsiella pneumoniae PM2, was …

Using oleaginous microbial lipid-based biorefinery from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to
produce fermentative bioenergy (ie, biodiesel) represents an innovative second-generation …

During biofuel production, acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstock leads to formation
of toxic by-products, such as furfural and 5-hydroxy-2-methylfurfural (HMF), which inhibit the …
