Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and physicochemical pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass: a review.
TL;DR: Different leading pretreatment technologies are reviewed along with their latest developments and their advantages and disadvantages with respect to subsequent hydrolysis and fermentation with a focus on how the treatment greatly enhances enzymatic cellulose digestibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of the enzymatic hydrolysis of palm oil by lipase
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model taking into account the mechanism of the hydrolysis reaction and the effect of interfacial area between the oil phase and the aqueous phase containing the enzyme was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyaluronic acid production is enhanced by the additional co-expression of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in Lactococcus lactis
TL;DR: This study shows that the insertion of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose pyrophosphorylase ( hasC) gene in addition to the HA synthase (hasA) and UDP-glucOSE dehydrogenase (HasB) genes has a significant impact on increasing HA production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) through enzymatic digestion treatments and ultrafiltration
TL;DR: An attempt to optimize the recovery of PHAs by solubilisation of non-PHA granules through enzymatic treatments such as; Alcalase, sodium dodecyl sulfate, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid to complex divalent cations and lysozyme to digest the peptidoglycan wall enveloping the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of competing metabolic processes on the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid synthesized by Streptococcus zooepidemicus
TL;DR: It was found that the best strategy for enhancing molecular weight was to weaken the glycolytic process, strengthen HA synthesis process and maintain nitrogen under limiting condition to reduce the rate of biomass formation.
