Journal ArticleDOI
Two-stage dilute-acid pretreatment of softwoods.
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using an adapted Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain further improved cellulose conversion yield and lowered the enzyme requirement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial pretreatment of biomass: potential for reducing severity of thermochemical biomass pretreatment.
TL;DR: Preliminary tests show a three- to five-fold improvement in enzymatic cellulose digestibility of corn stover after pretreatment with Cyathus stercoreus and a ten- to 100-fold reduction in shear force needed to obtain the same shear rate after pret treatment with Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Temperature and Moisture on Dilute-Acid Steam Explosion Pretreatment of Corn Stover and Cellulase Enzyme Digestibility
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of washed solids from corn stover pretreated at 190°C, using an enzyme loading of 15 filter paper units (FPU)/g of cellulose, gave ethanol yields in excess of 85%.
Book ChapterDOI
Microbial Pretreatment of Biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature suggests that fungal pretreatment could potentially lower the severity requirements of acid, temperature and time, resulting in less biomass degradation and consequently lower inhibitor concentrations compared to conventional thermochemical pretreatment.

Dilute acid/metal salt hydrolysis of lignocellulosics
Quang A. Nguyen,Melvin P. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: A modified dilute acid method of hydrolyzing the cellulose and hemicellulose in lignocellulosic material under conditions to obtain higher overall fermentable sugar yields than is obtained using dilute acids alone was proposed in this article.
