Journal ArticleDOI
Valorization of lignocellulosic residues from the olive oil industry by production of lignin, glucose and functional sugars.
Isabel Miranda,Rita Simões,Barbara Medeiros,Kesavan Madhavan Nampoothiri,Rajeev K. Sukumaran,Devi Rajan,Helena Pereira,Suzana Ferreira-Dias +7 more
TL;DR: The valorization of residual olive pomace and stones (seeds) by hydrothermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of glucans and xylo-oligosaccharides is aimed at.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal assisted alkaline pretreatment of rice husk for enhanced biomass deconstruction and enzymatic saccharification: Physico-chemical and structural characterization.
Md. Shahabazuddin,Md. Shahabazuddin,T. Sarat Chandra,S. Meena,Rajeev K. Sukumaran,Nandini P. Shetty,Sandeep N. Mudliar +6 more
TL;DR: Thermal assisted alkaline pretreatment of rice husk was investigated to facilitate enzymatic saccharification by enhancing the enzyme accessibility to cellulosic components and showed progressive removal of noncellulosic constituents, and XRD analysis revealed an increase in cellulose crystallinity post-TAAP indicating the effectiveness of pretreatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of a highly glucose tolerant β-glucosidase by Paecilomyces variotii MG3: optimization of fermentation conditions using Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken experimental designs
TL;DR: Solid state fermentation production of a highly glucose tolerant β-glucosidase by a novel isolate of Paecilomyces was optimized using a two step statistical experiment design and resulted in a doubling of the enzyme production by the fungus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolysis of biomass using a reusable solid carbon acid catalyst and fermentation of the catalytic hydrolysate to ethanol.
Mandavi Goswami,S. Meena,S. Navatha,K. N. Prasanna Rani,Ashok Pandey,Rajeev K. Sukumaran,Rachapudi B. N. Prasad,B.L.A. Prabhavathi Devi +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate the solid acid catalyst as an interesting option for biomass hydrolysis as it can hydrolyze cellulose with lower reaction times and are easy to recover and reuse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing challenges in production of cellulases for biomass hydrolysis: Targeted interventions into the genetics of cellulase producing fungi.
Rajeev K. Sukumaran,Rajeev K. Sukumaran,Meera Christopher,Prajeesh Kooloth-Valappil,AthiraRaj Sreeja-Raju,Reshma M. Mathew,Meena Sankar,Anoop Puthiyamadam,Velayudhanpillai-Prasannakumari Adarsh,Aswathi Aswathi,Valan Rebinro,Amith Abraham,Ashok Pandey +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the types and mechanisms of action of known fungal biomass degrading enzymes, their current understanding of the genetic control exerted on their expression, and possible routes for intervention, especially on modulating catabolite repression, transcriptional regulators, signal transduction, secretion pathways etc., in order to improve enzyme productivity, activity and stability.
