Journal ArticleDOI
A physical catalyst for the electrolysis of nitrogen to ammonia.
Yang Song,Daniel Johnson,Rui Peng,Dale K. Hensley,Peter V. Bonnesen,Liangbo Liang,Jingsong Huang,Fengchang Yang,Fei Zhang,Rui Qiao,Arthur P. Baddorf,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Nancy L. Engle,Marta C. Hatzell,Zili Wu,David A. Cullen,Harry M. Meyer,Bobby G. Sumpter,Adam J. Rondinone +18 more
TL;DR: A nanostructured, carbon-based physical catalyst electrochemically reduces N2 to ammonia under ambient conditions that has a surface composed of sharp spikes, which concentrates the electric field at the tips, thereby promoting the electroreduction of dissolved N2 molecules near the electrode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Degradation of Lignocellulosic Plant Biomass, without Pretreatment, by the Thermophilic Anaerobe “Anaerocellum thermophilum” DSM 6725
Sung-Jae Yang,Irina Kataeva,Scott D. Hamilton-Brehm,Nancy L. Engle,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Crissa Doeppke,Crissa Doeppke,Mark F. Davis,Mark F. Davis,Janet Westpheling,Janet Westpheling,Michael W. W. Adams +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that “Anaerocellum thermophilum” DSM 6725, an anaerobic bacterium that grows optimally at 75°C, efficiently utilizes various types of untreated plant biomass, as well as crystalline cellulose and xylan, to degrade lignocellulosic biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fate of lignin during hydrothermal pretreatment
Heather L. Trajano,Heather L. Trajano,Heather L. Trajano,Nancy L. Engle,Marcus Foston,Marcus Foston,Marcus Foston,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Charles E. Wyman,Charles E. Wyman +11 more
TL;DR: Insight into delignification during hydrothermal pretreatment point to desirable pretreatment strategies and plant modifications because limiting the residence time of depolymerized lignin moieties in the bulk liquid phase should reduce lign in content in pretreated biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined inactivation of the Clostridium cellulolyticum lactate and malate dehydrogenase genes substantially increases ethanol yield from cellulose and switchgrass fermentations
Yongchao Li,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Nancy L. Engle,Choo Hamilton,Miguel Rodriguez,James C. Liao,James C. Liao,Christopher W. Schadt,Christopher W. Schadt,Adam M. Guss,Yunfeng Yang,David E. Graham,David E. Graham +12 more
TL;DR: As a key component of the genetic toolbox for this bacterium, markerless targeted mutagenesis enables functional genomic research in C. cellulolyticum and rapid genetic engineering to significantly alter the mixture of fermentation products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction: Corrigendum: Pentose sugars inhibit metabolism and increase expression of an AgrD-type cyclic pentapeptide in Clostridium thermocellum
Tobin J. Verbeke,Richard J. Giannone,Dawn M. Klingeman,Nancy L. Engle,Thomas Rydzak,Adam M. Guss,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Steven D. Brown,Robert L. Hettich,James Elkins +9 more
TL;DR: This corrects the article DOI: 10.1038/srep43355 to indicate that the author of the paper is a doctor of medicine rather than a scientist, as previously reported.
