Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of Clostridium thermocellum as a high utility candidate for consolidated bioprocessing applications
Hannah Akinosho,Hannah Akinosho,Kelsey L. Yee,Dan Close,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Arthur J. Ragauskas +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, although there have been many advances to significantly improve C. thermocellum's amenability to industrial use, several hurdles still remain to be overcome as this unique organism enjoys increased attention within the scientific community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugar release and growth of biofuel crops are improved by downregulation of pectin biosynthesis

TL;DR: Downregulation of GAUT4 reduces HG and rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII), reduces wall calcium and boron, and increases extractability of cell wall sugars, which improves biomass yields and sugar release from biomass processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights of biomass recalcitrance in natural Populus trichocarpa variants for biomass conversion
Chang Geun Yoo,Yongil Yang,Yunqiao Pu,Xianzhi Meng,Wellington Muchero,Kelsey L. Yee,Olivia A. Thompson,Miguel Rodriguez,Garima Bali,Nancy L. Engle,Erika Lindquist,Vasanth R. Singan,Jeremy Schmutz,Stephen P. DiFazio,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Gerald A. Tuskan,Jin-Gui Chen,Brian H. Davison,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Arthur J. Ragauskas +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the recalcitrance of natural Populus variants was elucidated in three aspects: (1) sugar release, (2) physicochemical properties, and (3) relative variation of gene expression within natural poplar variants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consolidated bioprocessing of transgenic switchgrass by an engineered and evolved Clostridium thermocellum strain
Kelsey L. Yee,Miguel Rodriguez,Olivia A. Thompson,Chunxiang Fu,Zeng-Yu Wang,Brian H. Davison,Jonathan R. Mielenz +6 more
TL;DR: Ethanol yield on a transgenic switchgrass substrate (gram/gram (g/g) glucan liberated) is the highest produced thus far, indicating that the advantages of a modified feedstock can be combined with a modified consolidated bioprocessing microorganism as anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the bioconversion of genetically modified switchgrass using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and a consolidated bioprocessing approach
Kelsey L. Yee,Miguel Rodriguez,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Nancy L. Engle,Madhavi Z. Martin,Chunxiang Fu,Zeng-Yu Wang,Scott D. Hamilton-Brehm,Jonathan R. Mielenz +8 more
TL;DR: The down-regulation of the COMT gene improves the bioconversion of switchgrass relative to the wild-type regardless of the pretreatment condition or fermentation microorganism.
