The production of cellulosic ethanol from biomass is considered a promising alternative to
reliance on diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, providing a sustainable option for fuels …

Wood cellulose microfibril (CMF) is the most abundant organic substance on Earth but its
nanostructure remains poorly understood. There are controversies regarding the glucan …

Lignin-based fibers were produced by electrospinning aqueous dispersions of lignin, poly
(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Defect-free nanofibers with up to …

Plant biomass, or lignocellulosic biomass, is evaluated worldwide as a potential feedstock
for the sustainable production of bioenergy in the near future due to its abundance …

In this study, Populus trichocarpa was subjected to dilute acid pretreatment at varying
pretreatment times. The three major components of lignocellulosic biomass, namely …

A metabolic route yielding lipids from lignin would represent innovative applications for this
recalcitrant biomass component. In this study ethanol organosolv lignin (EOL) and …

Although economically efficient biomass conversion depends on the utilization of the
complete cell wall (biorefinery concept), including polysaccharides and lignin, current …

Today's biotechnologists seek new biocatalysts to meet the growing demand for the
bioproducts. This review critically evaluates the potential use of Y. lipolytica as an …
