The fermentation of xylose is essential for the bioconversion of lignocellulose to fuels and
chemicals, but wild-type strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae do not metabolize xylose, so …

Scarcity of the non-renewable energy sources, global warming, environmental pollution, and
raising the cost of petroleum are the motive for the development of renewable, eco-friendly …

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the low-cost substrates used for bioethanol production. In
order to solubilize sugars in hemicelluloses like xylan, a new thermotolerant isolate of …

An aerobic xylanolytic moderately halophilic and alkali-tolerant bacterium, Gracilibacillus sp.
TSCPVG, produces multiple xylanases of unusual halo-acid-alkali-thermo-stable nature …

In this study, we evaluate potato pulp waste as a potential raw material for obtaining yeast
biomass. A portion of the carbohydrates in the potato pulp waste can thereby be converted …

Two strains of each yeast Candida shehatae and Pichia stipitis were used to ferment sugar
maple wood extracts to ethanol. Of these four strains the most promising was the P. stipitis …

Pichia stipitis is a source of genes for engineering xylose metabolism in Saccharomyces
cerevisiaea task undertaken in numerous laboratories around the world. Increasing the …

Bioethanol production from acid hydrolysate of sugarcane bagasse's hemicellulose was
studied using an adapted new yeast strain, Barnettozyma californica HNMA‐5. The growth …

β-Xylosidase production was maximal for the mutant Pichia stipitis NP54376 grown on xylan
as the sole carbon source. β-Xylosidase was purified from culture supernatant by (NH4) …

It is essential that major carbohydrate polymers in the lignocellulosic biomass are converted
into fermentable sugars for the economical production of energy. Xylan, the major …
