Yeasts are predominant in the ancient and complex process of winemaking. In spontaneous
fermentations, there is a progressive growth pattern of indigenous yeasts, with the final …

Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose to bioethanol refers to the combining of
the four biological events required for this conversion process (production of saccharolytic …

To build an energy and material secure future, a next generation of renewable fuels
produced from lignocellulosic biomass is required. Although lignocellulosic biomass, which …

The stilbene resveratrol is a stress metabolite produced by Vitis vinifera grapevines during
fungal infection, wounding or UV radiation. Resveratrol is synthesised particularly in the …

Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for ethanolic fermentation of xylose is
summarized with emphasis on progress made during the last decade. Advances in xylose …

protocol. Methods and Results: Three different soil DNA isolation and four purification …

Enzymes play a definitive role in the ancient and complex process of winemaking. From a
scientific and technical point of view, wine can be seen as the product of enzymatic …

Hemicellulose is one of the major forms of biomass in lignocellulose, and its essential
component is xylan. We used a cell surface engineering system based on α-agglutinin to …

The dependency on depleting natural resources is a challenge for energy security that can
be potentially answered by bioenergy. Bioenergy is derived from starchy and lignocellulosic …

The β-xylosidase-encoding xlnD gene of Aspergillus niger 90196 was amplified by the PCR
technique from first-strand cDNA synthesized on mRNA isolated from the fungus. The …
