Lignocellulose is a complex substrate which requires a variety of enzymes, acting in
synergy, for its complete hydrolysis. These synergistic interactions between different …

Lignocellulosic materials, such as forest, agriculture, and agroindustrial residues, are among
the most important resources for biorefineries to provide fuels, chemicals, and materials in …

Biofuels that are produced from biobased materials are a good alternative to petroleum
based fuels. They offer several benefits to society and the environment. Producing second …

Plants represent a vast, renewable resource and are well suited to provide sustainably for
humankind's transportation fuel needs. To produce infrastructure-compatible fuels from …

Deconstruction of lignocellulosic plant cell walls to fermentable sugars by thermochemical
and/or biological means is impeded by several poorly understood ultrastructural and …

Conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels is partly inefficient due to the deleterious impact of
cellulose crystallinity on enzymatic saccharification. We demonstrate how the synergistic …

Background In a biorefinery producing cellulosic biofuels, biomass pretreatment will
significantly influence the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation …

Background High enzyme loading is a major economic bottleneck for the commercial
processing of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass to produce fermentable sugars. Optimizing …

The cost of enzymes for converting plant biomass materials to fermentable sugars is a major
impediment to the development of a practical lignocellulosic ethanol industry. Research on …

Citrus fruit waste (CW) is a useful biomass and its valorization into fuels and biochemicals
has received much attention. For economic feasibility, increased efficiency of the preceding …
