Lignocellulose might become an important feedstock for the future development of the
biobased economy. Although up to 75% of the lignocellulose dry weight consists of sugar, it …

Although> 700 disinfection byproducts (DBPs) have been identified,> 50% of the total
organic halogen (TOX) in drinking water chlorination is unknown, and the DBPs responsible …

During anaerobic digestion of organic waste, both energy-rich biogas and a nutrient-rich
digestate are produced. The digestate can be used as a fertiliser in agricultural soils if the …

A fundamental goal in biotechnology and biology is the development of approaches to better
understand the genetic basis of traits. Here we report a versatile method, trackable multiplex …

Lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis inevitably coproduces byproducts that may have various
affects on downstream biotransformation. It is imperative to document the inhibitor tolerance …

Background Biomass prehydrolysates from dilute acid pretreatment contain a considerable
amount of fermentable sugars for biofuels production. However, carbonyl degradation …

Decomposition products formed/released during ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) and
dilute acid (DA) pretreatment of corn stover (CS) were quantified using robust mass …

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

Abstract The Department of Energy's Office of the Biomass Program has set goals of making
ethanol cost competitive by 2012 and replacing 30% of 2004 transportation supply with …

Phenolics derived from lignin and other plant components can pose significant inhibition on
enzymatic conversion of cellulosic biomass materials to useful chemicals. Understanding …
