Recent advances in pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes and production of value added products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the recent advances in the treatment and value addition of lignocellulosic wastes (LCW) with main focus on domestic and agro-industrial residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconversion of lignocellulosic waste from selected dumping sites in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
TL;DR: A preliminary study on the physical characteristics, acid pretreatment, saccharification by cellulase from Trichoderma reesei and fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae of the lignocellulosic component of the solid wastes collected from various dumping sites located in Kinondoni Municipality, Dar es Salaam city showed that overall, the lIGNocellusic component constitute about 50% of solid wastes dumped in the study areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extracted antioxidant compounds from various parts of Sasa palmata (Bean) Nakai, a bamboo plant whose leaves are commonly used to wrap foodstuffs such as Sushi in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignocellulosic enzymes from Flavodon flavus, a fungus isolated from Western Indian Ocean off the coast of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
TL;DR: The study confirmed extracellular enzymes from F. flavus to be potential degraders of organic pollutants and showed that facultative marine fungi that live under harsh seawater conditions are suitable for bioremediation of recalcitrant environmental pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of laccase and manganese peroxidase production in submerged culture of Pleurotus sajorcaju
TL;DR: A white-rot fungus, Pleurotus sajor-caju, was isolated from coastal Tanzania and screened for crude lignolytic enzymes production using rhemazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) dye, 2,2-azino-bis (3- ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonate (ABTS) and guaiacol in a semi-solid medium as discussed by the authors.
