Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of dilute acid and ionic liquid pretreatment of switchgrass: Biomass recalcitrance, delignification and enzymatic saccharification.
Chenlin Li,Bernhard Knierim,Chithra Manisseri,Rohit Arora,Henrik Vibe Scheller,Manfred Auer,Kenneth P. Vogel,Blake A. Simmons,Blake A. Simmons,Seema Singh,Seema Singh +10 more
TL;DR: Ionic liquid pretreatment enabled a significant enhancement in the rate of enzyme hydrolysis of the cellulose component of switchgrass, with a rate increase of 16.7-fold, and a glucan yield of 96.0% obtained in 24h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of the maize Corngrass1 microRNA prevents flowering, improves digestibility, and increases starch content of switchgrass
George Chuck,Christian M. Tobias,Lan Sun,Florian J. Kraemer,Chenlin Li,Dean C. Dibble,Rohit Arora,Jennifer N. Bragg,John P. Vogel,Seema Singh,Blake A. Simmons,Markus Pauly,Sarah Hake +12 more
TL;DR: To test the hypothesis that juvenile biomass has superior qualities as a potential biofuel feedstock, the Cg1 gene was transferred into several other plants, including the bioenergy crop Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), found to have up to 250% more starch, resulting in higher glucose release from saccharification assays with or without biomass pretreatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring and Analyzing Process Streams Towards Understanding Ionic Liquid Pretreatment of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Rohit Arora,Chithra Manisseri,Chenlin Li,Chenlin Li,Markus D. Ong,Henrik Vibe Scheller,Kenneth P. Vogel,Blake A. Simmons,Blake A. Simmons,Seema Singh,Seema Singh +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of residence time and temperature during ionic liquid (IL) pretreat- ment of switchgrass using 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Ionic Liquid Pretreatment Conditions on Cellulose Crystalline Structure Using 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Acetate
Gang Cheng,Gang Cheng,Patanjali Varanasi,Patanjali Varanasi,Rohit Arora,Vitalie Stavila,Blake A. Simmons,Blake A. Simmons,Michael S. Kent,Michael S. Kent,Seema Singh,Seema Singh +11 more
TL;DR: Results show that the cellulose I lattice expands and distorts prior to full dissolution in [C(2)mim][OAc] and that upon precipitation the former structure leads to a less ordered intermediate structure, whereas fully dissolved cellulose lead to a mixture of cellulose II and amorphous cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding changes in lignin of Panicum virgatum and Eucalyptus globulus as a function of ionic liquid pretreatment
Patanjali Varanasi,Priyanka Singh,Rohit Arora,Paul D. Adams,Manfred Auer,Blake A. Simmons,Seema Singh +6 more
TL;DR: Temperature dependent compositional changes in lignin after IL pretreatment were studied to develop a mechanistic understanding of the process and suggest two different modes of IL pret treatment.
