Wood is a renewable resource with excellent qualities and the potential to become a key
element of a future bioeconomy. The increasing environmental awareness and drive to …

Lignocellulosic (or cellulosic) biomass derived ethanol is the most promising near/long term
fuel candidate. In addition, cellulosic biomass derived ethanol may serve a precursor to …

Lignocellulosic biomass, such as wood, grass, agricultural, and forest residues, are potential
resources for the production of bioethanol. The current biochemical process of converting …

The bio-based economy relies on sustainable, plant-derived resources for fuels, chemicals,
materials, food and feed rather than on the evanescent usage of fossil resources. The …

Populus has been investigated as a promising biomass feedstock for alternative fuels and
chemicals. Physicochemical characteristics and genomic information of biomass feedstocks …

The ever-increasing global demand for energy and materials has a pronounced effect on
worldwide economic stability, diplomacy, and technical advancement. In response, a recent …

Background Multiple analytical methods have been developed to determine the ratios of
aromatic lignin units, particularly the syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) ratio, of lignin biopolymers in …

Abstract Cellulose is a β-1, 4 linked glucose polymer that is synthesized by higher plants,
algae and even by some bacteria and animals, making it the most abundant polymer on …

Esterified phenolics occur as γ-linked lignin acylations in many plant taxa but little is known
about the distribution or function of such groups. In the family Salicaceae, p …

Mapping the location of bound cellulase enzymes provides information on the micro-scale
distribution of amenable and recalcitrant sites in pretreated woody biomass for biofuel …
