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 …

A lignin degradation bacterial consortium named LDC was screened from the sludge of a
reeds pond by a restricted subculture. It could break down 60.9% lignin in reeds at 30° C …

Pinewood is an abundant source of lignocellulosic biomass that has potential to be used as
renewable feedstock in biorefineries for conversion into advanced biofuels and other value …

Factors affecting the delignification of steam-exploded rice straw (SERS) by solid-state
fermentation (SSF) with Phanerochaete chrysosporium were systematically investigated …

Cellulose-pulping requires chemicals such as Cl2, ClO2, H2O2, and O2. The black liquor
(BL) generated exhibits a high chemical oxygen demand (COD), five-day biochemical …

Deep eutectic solvents are characterized as natural, green, biodegradable, non-flammable,
non-volatile, non-toxic, odorless, colorless, easy to prepare, and easy to recycle after use …

Five endophytic fungal strains isolated from Eucalyptus sp. and capable of producing
laccase (Neofusicoccum luteum, Ulocladium sp., Pringsheimia smilacis, Hormonema sp …

Biological pretreatment of wood chips by fungi is a well-known approach prior to mechanical-
or chemical pulp production. For this biological approach, a limited number of white-rot fungi …

While previous studies have shown that white-rot fungal pretreatment reduces the severity of
chemical pretreatments and improves enzymatic saccharification yields, very few have …

BACKGROUND The utility of the ascomycete Hormonema sp. CECT‐13092, an endophytic
fungal strain recently isolated and identified from an eucalyptus tree in Spain, was …
