Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has been demonstrated as
alternative to conventional fuel, as it is considered to be renewable and clean energy. The …

Novel laccases have promising and valuable applications in biorefineries. This investigation
documents, for the first time, the potential of depolymerising and repolymerising lignin by the …

In this work, steam explosion was used a pretreatment method to improve the conversion of
elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) to cellulosic ethanol. This way, enzymatic …

Background The enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic materials by fungal enzyme
systems has been extensively studied due to its effectiveness in the liberation of fermentable …

Renewable energy sources, such as high-biomass yield elephant grass (Pennisetum
purpureum) are an alternative feedstock for ethanol production. In addition to its adaptation …

One of the current challenges to produce second-generation ethanol is to obtain an efficient
enzyme complex for hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. Genetic improvement of …

The present study evaluated 13 strains of yeast for ethanol and xylitol production from
xylose. Among them, Spathaspora hagerdaliae UFMG-CM-Y303 produced ethanol yields …

The effect of different carbon sources on morphology and cellulase and xylanase production
of Penicillium echinulatum was evaluated in this work. Among the six carbon sources …

This study evaluated the potential use of elephant grass biomass, a highly productive
species, for cellulase and xylanase production by the cellulolytic mutant Penicillium …

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with ionic liquids (ILs) has been extensively studied,
being regarded as one of the most promising methods for obtaining fermentable sugars. In …
