Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolysis of pretreated rice straw by an enzyme cocktail comprising acidic xylanase from Aspergillus sp. for bioethanol production
TL;DR: Results proved that the crude xylanase preparation from Aspergillus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xylanase and cellulase systems of Clostridium sp.: An insight on molecular approaches for strain improvement
TL;DR: The aim of this article was to review the recent developments on enzyme systems of clostridia, especially xylanase and cellulase with an effort to analyse the information available on molecular approaches for the improvement of strains with ultimate aim to improve the efficiencies of hydrolysis and fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raveendran Sindhu,Parameswaran Binod,Anil Kuruvilla Mathew,Amith Abraham,Edgard Gnansounou,Sabeela Beevi Ummalyma,Leya Thomas,Ashok Pandey +7 more
TL;DR: A novel ultrasound-assisted alkali pretreatment strategy was developed which could effectively remove lignin and hemicelluloses and improve the sugar yield from chili post harvest residue and the hydrolyzate obtained was found to be suitable for bioethanol and xylanase production.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alkali-thermostable xylanase from Bacillus pumilus functionally expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis and evaluation of its deinking efficiency.
TL;DR: Partially purified recombinant enzyme showed higher deinking efficiency (273%) of laser print waste paper than crude xylanase from Bacillus and commercial acidic enzyme and could be a suitable candidate in paper and pulp industries.
