TL;DR: This work proposes a biomass conversion strategy that maximizes the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into high-value products that can be commercialized, providing the opportunity for successful translation to an economically viable commercial process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathways for Extracellular Fenton Chemistry in the Brown Rot Basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum
TL;DR: The brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum uses an extracellular hydroquinone-quinone redox cycle to reduce Fe3+ and produce H2O2, which enables it to degrade a wide variety of organic compounds, and 2,5-DMHQ by itself is an efficient reductant of 4, 5-DMBQ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal hydroquinones contribute to brown rot of wood.
Melissa R. Suzuki,Christopher G. Hunt,Carl J. Houtman,Zachary D. Dalebroux,Kenneth E. Hammel,Kenneth E. Hammel +5 more
TL;DR: Hydroquinone-driven Fenton chemistry is one component of the biodegradative arsenal that G. trabeum expresses on wood and the decrease in holocellulose viscosity was correlated with the measured concentrations of hydroquinones.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complex of amylose and iodine
TL;DR: The organization of polyiodide chains in the amylose-iodine complex was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, by UV/vis, and by second-derivative UV-vis spectroscopies complemented by semi-empirical calculations based on a simple structural model as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laccase and Its Role in Production of Extracellular Reactive Oxygen Species during Wood Decay by the Brown Rot Basidiomycete Postia placenta
Dongsheng Wei,Dongsheng Wei,Carl J. Houtman,Alexander N. Kapich,Alexander N. Kapich,Christopher G. Hunt,Daniel Cullen,Daniel Cullen,Kenneth E. Hammel,Kenneth E. Hammel +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that aspen wood undergoing decay by the oxalate producer Postia placenta contained both 2,5-dimethoxyhydroquinone and laccase activity, which means that the quantity of reactive oxygen species produced by P. Placenta lAccase in wood is large enough that it likely contributes to incipient decay.
