Journal ArticleDOI
The path forward for biofuels and biomaterials
Arthur J. Ragauskas,Charlotte K. Williams,Brian H. Davison,George J. P. Britovsek,John Cairney,Charles A. Eckert,William J. Frederick,Jason P. Hallett,David J. Leak,Charles L. Liotta,Jonathan R. Mielenz,Richard J. Murphy,Richard H. Templer,Timothy J. Tschaplinski +13 more
TL;DR: The integration of agroenergy crops and biorefinery manufacturing technologies offers the potential for the development of sustainable biopower and biomaterials that will lead to a new manufacturing paradigm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic liquid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with ionic liquid–water mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, ground lignocellulosic biomass (Miscanthus giganteus, pine (Pinus sylvestris) and willow (Salix viminalis) was pretreated with ionic liquid-water mixtures of 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium methyl sulfate and 1- butyl- 3methyloridehydrogensulfate hydrogen sulfate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper stress underlies the fundamental change in intracellular location of methane mono-oxygenase in methane-oxidizing organisms: Studies in batch and continuous cultures
TL;DR: Results indicated that the copper effect could explain a similar switch in intracellular location observed in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b but that some methanotrophs do not have the capacity to overcome copper stress in this way.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the ionic liquid anion in the pretreatment of pine wood chips
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the anion of ionic liquids on air-dried pine (Pinus radiata) has been investigated and it was shown that 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium dicyanamide dissolves neither cellulose nor lignocellulosic material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering of Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius for high yield ethanol production.
Roger Cripps,Kirstin Eley,David J. Leak,Brian Rudd,Mark Taylor,M. Todd,S. Boakes,S. Martin,T. Atkinson +8 more
TL;DR: The metabolic engineering of two strains of Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius to divert their fermentative carbon flux from a mixed acid pathway, to one in which ethanol becomes the major product, which involved elimination of the lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate lyase pathways.
