Assessment of the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in response to synergetic inhibition during bioethanol production

TL;DR: In this study different combinations of inhibitors (acetic acid, formic acid and vanillin) were considered to mimic realistic fermentation conditions during bioethanol production; ethanol yield and cell viability were then concurrently measured over a period of 48 h.

Effects of Screen Size on Biochemical Conversion of Big Bluestem Biomass for Biofuel Production

TL;DR: It was found that using a larger screen size saved energy in biomass size reduction on a knife mill, and particles produced with larger screen sizes achieved higher cellulose recovery rate after pretreatment, higher enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, and higher total sugar yield.
