Agricultural, forestry, and food industries produce large amounts of lignocellulosic wastes
every year. Land disposal of these residues without proper treatment leads to environmental …

The palm oil industry generates significant amounts of solid wastes. The solid wastes, also
known as oil palm biomass, includes the trunk (OPT) and fronds (OPT) from the plantation …

Laccases are copper-containing oxidase enzymes found in many fungi. They have received
increasing research attention because of their broad substrate specificity and applicability in …

The omnipresence of enzyme decides on their essential role in the infinite number of
catalytic transformations taking place in nature as well as on their undisputed physiological …

The degradation of lignin is the main rate-limiting step in the bio-pulping of rice straw. A
lignin-degrading bacterial consortium LDC, which can efficiently degrade lignin of reed, was …

The applications of enzymes have reached an increasing prominence in the scenario of
biocatalysis, stimulated mainly by advances in biotechnological processes to obtain …

The macroalgae consortium biomass in the Mexican Caribbean represents an emerging

Oil palm plantations cover over 5 million hectares of land in Malaysia. This large area of
plantations generates massive amount of oil palm biomass residue. Plantations and mill …

Pretreatment of wood or other raw material with white-rot fungi (WRF) prior to pulping is
known as biopulping. Lignin and hemicelluloses are removed selectively during early …

Coupling microalgae production to wastewater treatment can reduce the costs of microalgae
production for non-food bioproducts and energy consumption for wastewater treatment …
