Lignocellulosic materials, such as forest, agriculture, and agroindustrial residues, are among
the most important resources for biorefineries to provide fuels, chemicals, and materials in …

Hemicelluloses currently represent the largest polysaccharide fraction wasted in most
cellulosic ethanol pilot and demonstration plants around the world. The reasons are based …

Cellulose is the most abundant renewable natural biological resource, and the production of
biobased products and bioenergy from less costly renewable lignocellulosic materials is …

This study aim is to propose operational conditions for the dilute acid pretreatment of rice
straw and to explore the effect of the structural properties of the solid residues on the …

Although the structure and function of cellulase systems continue to be the subject of intense
research, it is widely acknowledged that the rate and extent of the cellulolytic hydrolysis of …

Driven by the increase in industrialization and population, the global demand for energy and
material products is steadily growing. Since the world primary sources for energy and …

Background We and other workers have shown that accessory enzymes, such as β-
glucosidase, xylanase, and cellulase cofactors, such as GH61, can considerably enhance …

A range of lignocellulosic feedstocks (including agricultural, softwood and hardwood
substrates) were pretreated with either sulfur dioxide-catalyzed steam or an ethanol …

The pretreatment process used and the nature of the biomass feedstock will influence the
role that accessory enzymes can play in synergistically interacting with cellulases to …

A variety of potentially inhibitory degradation products are produced during pretreatment of
lignocellulosic biomass. Qualitative and quantitative interrogation of pretreatment …
