Book ChapterDOI
Thermostable Enzymes as Biocatalysts in the Biofuel Industry
Carl J. Yeoman,Yejun Han,Dylan Dodd,Charles M. Schroeder,Roderick I. Mackie,Isaac K. O. Cann +5 more
TL;DR: The protein structure, mechanisms of thermostability, and specific strategies that can be used to improve the thermal stability of lignocellulosic biocatalysts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of steam exploded wheat straw pretreated with alkaline peroxide
Hongzhang Chen,Yejun Han,Jian Xu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pretreatment method coupling steam explosion with alkaline peroxide for wheat straw was studied to increase the cellulose content of substrate and ethanol yield in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depolymerization and conversion of lignin to value-added bioproducts by microbial and enzymatic catalysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the most recent advances in degradation and conversion of lignin to value-added bioproducts catalyzed by microbes and enzymes were summarized, and new insights for future work to overcome the heterogeneity and recalcitrance of Lignin and convert it to value added products by microbial and enzymatic catalysis were proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of beta-glucosidase from corn stover and its application in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation
Yejun Han,Hongzhang Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In SSF of steam explosion pretreated corn stover, the supplementation of the purified beta-glucosidase was more effective than Aspergillus niger beta- glucosidsase and potentially useful in SSF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of hemicellulase and cellulase from the extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor owensensis and their potential application for bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass without pretreatment.
TL;DR: A new process for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass by sequential hydrolysis is demonstrated in the present research, namely hyperthermal enzymolysis (70–80 °C) by enzymes of C. owensensis which has the advantages of no sugar loss, few inhibitors generation and consolidated with sterilization.
