The transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to a bio-based economy necessitates the
exploitation of synergies, scientific innovations and breakthroughs, and step changes in the …

Advances in industrial biotechnology offer potential opportunities for economic utilization of
agro-industrial residues such as sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse, which is a …

Acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials produces several inhibitory compounds, such as
sugar and lignin degradation products, compounds derived from the lignocellulosic …

In the present work, samples of sugar cane bagasse were hydrolysed with phosphoric acid
under mild conditions (H3PO4 2–6%, time 0–300min and 122° C) to study the feasibility of …

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

In this study, sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolisate was evaluated as carbon
source in biosurfactant production by yeasts. 27 yeasts were screened in culture media …

Fifty-five bacterial strains isolated from soil were screened for efficient poly-3-
hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) biosynthesis from xylose. Three strains were also evaluated for the …

Xylitol can be obtained from hemicelullosic fraction of lignocellulosic materials containing d-
xylose. A problem associated with the fermentation of hemicellulosic sugars to xylitol is the …

Different types of activated carbon were prepared by chemical activation of brewer's spent
grain (BSG) lignin using H3PO4 at various acid/lignin ratios (1, 2, or 3g/g) and carbonization …

Background This study is the first to investigate the Brazilian Amazonian Forest to identify
new D-xylose-fermenting yeasts that might potentially be used in the production of ethanol …
