Environmental sustainability criteria and rising energy demands, exhaustion of conventional
resources of energy followed by environmental degradation due to abrupt climate changes …

The potential of lignocellulosic feedstock has been widely studied, mainly for biofuels
production, which usually requires an enzymatic step on the process. Cellulolytic enzymes …

Sugarcane processing in sugar industry results in generation of vast amounts of wastes,
which can be valorized to biofuels and value-added chemicals based on the concept of …

Sugarcane straw (SCS) represents about one-third of the total primary sugarcane energy.
Since its burning in pre-harvesting periods has been banned in Brazil, SCS available …

After just more than 100 years of history of industrial acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE)
fermentation, patented by Weizmann in the UK in 1915, butanol is again today considered a …

Rice straw (RS) is one of the lignocellulosic wastes with the highest global production. The
main objective of this study was to maximise the butanol production by Clostridium …

Facing the crucial issue of high cost in cellulase production from commercial celluloses,
inexpensive lignocellulosic materials from agricultural wastes have been attractive …

At present, diminishing oil resources and increasing environmental concerns have led to a
shift toward the production of alternative biofuels. In the last few decades, butanol, as liquid …

Acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation suffers from high substrate cost and low butanol titer
and yield. In this study, engineered Clostridium tyrobutyricum CtΔack-adhE2 immobilized in …

Background Fuels and chemicals from renewable feedstocks have a growing demand, and
acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE) are some relevant examples. These molecules can be …
